Journal ArticleDOI
Polyploid formation created unique avenues for response to selection in gossypium (cotton)
TL;DR: The findings impel molecular dissection of the roles of divergent subgenomes in quantitative inheritance in many other polyploids and further exploration of both "synthetic" polyploid and exotic diploid genotypes for agriculturally useful variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genetic bottleneck in the 'evolution under domestication' of upland cotton Gossypium hirsutum L. examined using DNA fingerprinting
TL;DR: It is concluded that the early maturing or ’latifolium’ or ‘Mexican Highlands’ cultigens from which these cultivars were derived appear to have had extremely limited genetic diversity, perhaps as a result of a severe genetic bottleneck resulting from the selection pressures of domestication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity and relationships of diploid and tetraploid cottons revealed using AFLP
TL;DR: It is shown that AFLP is useful for estimating genetic relationships across a wide range of taxonomic levels, and for analyzing the evolutionary and historical development of cotton cultivars at the genomic level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping of verticillium wilt resistance genes in cotton
Yuksel Bolek,K. M. El-Zik,Alan E. Pepper,Alois A. Bell,Clint W. Magill,Peggy M. Thaxton,O. Umesh K. Reddy +6 more
TL;DR: A molecular mapping F2 population derived from the interspecific cross of the highly tolerant Gossypium barbadense cv.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Season Water Stress in Cotton: I. Plant Growth, Water Use, and Yield
TL;DR: While differences in yield between the cultivars mirror harvest index, large differences in boll production efficiency suggested that the intrinsic photosynthetic capacity of HQ95 may be greater than GP74.
