Repeated polyploidization of Gossypium genomes and the evolution of spinnable cotton fibres

Andrew H. Paterson, +77 more
- 20 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that an abrupt five- to sixfold ploidy increase approximately 60 million years (Myr) ago, and allopolyploidy reuniting divergent Gossypium genomes approximately 1–2 Myr ago, conferred about 30–36-fold duplication of ancestral angiosperm genes in elite cottons, genetic complexity equalled only by Brassica among sequenced angiosperms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular strategies for improving waterlogging tolerance in plants

TL;DR: An account is presented of the molecular strategies that have been used in an attempt to increase flooding tolerance of crop plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of genetic divergence among elite cotton cultivars: Genotypes by DNA fingerprinting technology

TL;DR: The study suggests the need to breed for high genetic diversity to serve as a buffer against potential epidemics and demonstrates that only cultivar VH-137 possesses a diverse genetic background.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetics of resistance to cotton leaf curl disease in Gossypium hirsutum

TL;DR: The F3 progeny of susceptible F2 plants segregated for resistance, indicating the probable presence of a suppressor gene (S), consistent with three genes being involved in G. hirsutum resistance to CLCuD.
