Identification of Contrasting Parents and Development of Mapping Population for Sucking Pest Resistance in Cotton

The current study was conducted to identify the best parents with good agronomical features and contrasting characteristics for sucking pest resistance develop a population that can be used Quantitative Trait Loci mapping of component traits. Initial attempts at this university have enabled five potential (viz., KC3, NDLH 1938, CO18, K12, RG8) improved yield characters they were crossed recently released high-yielding variety CO-17, which is also suitable high-density planting. All these six evaluated fiber quality traits besides anatomical such as trichomes density, length, width, sharpness confers genotyped 200 Simple Sequence Repeats markers span entire genome. Efforts been dedicated careful selection optimal parents, namely CO17 each possessing distinct related against pests in addition. This strategic approach aims combine their genetic components resistance, new generation plants exhibit heightened resilience types pests. CIR139, polymorphic SSR marker two fix true hybrids advanced generate an F2 population. believed useful QTL confer trichome breadth,
