A semi-selective agar medium was developed for detection of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. malvacearum (Xam) in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) seed. The basic medium was peptone-sucrose-agar (PSA). Criteria for the semi-selective medium were the typical colony characters of Xam and its pathogenicity on cotton. Several systemic fungicides and antibiotics in different concentrations were tested alone or...

a cytogenetic study was performed on 11 tetraploid cotton cultivars (gossypium hirsutum l.)including the oltan cultivar and its crossing progenies. the chromosome pairing and chiasma frequency, aswell as meiotic abnormalities were compared among the genotypes studied. heterozygote translocations withalternate orientation were observed between some of the chromosomes of the a genome and those of...

Among the seven tetraploid cotton species, little is known about transmission genetics and genome organization in Gossypium mustelinum, the species most distant from the source of most cultivated cotton, G. hirsutum In this research, an F2 population was developed from an interspecific cross between G. hirsutum and G. mustelinum (HM). A genetic linkage map was constructed mainly using simple se...

In this study, steam explosion pretreatment was performed in cotton stalks, leading to 5-6 folds enhancements on biomass enzymatic saccharification distinctive in Gossypium barbadense and Gossypium hirsutum species. Sequential 1% H2SO4 pretreatment could further increase biomass digestibility of the steam-exploded stalks, and also cause the highest sugar-ethanol conversion rates probably by rel...

Abstract Cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) reproductive development is affected by irrigation management and reduced soil moisture, leading to yield impacts. This study was conducted determine how timing moisture affects the distribution of cotton structures throughout canopy. Reduced achieved through varied amounts based on recommendations from an agroecosystem model. Plants each treatment were ...

CLCuD in southern Asia is caused by a complex of multiple begomoviruses (whitefly transmitted, single-stranded [ss]DNA viruses) in association with a specific ssDNA satellite; Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuMuB). A further single ssDNA molecule, for which the collective name alphasatellites has been proposed, is also frequently associated with begomovirus-betasatellite complexes. Mu...

a cytogenetic study was performed on m4 generation of gamma irradiated lines of shirpan cultivar of tetraploid cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.). a significant difference was observed in cytogenetical characteristics such as the number and type of quadrivalents as well as percentage of cells showing abnormality among the irradiated and non irradiated lines. cytomixis and post- pachytene diffuse st...

Background: Gossypium hirsutum, the most widely cultivated crop in world has concurrent importance for both fibre quality and yield. Polygenes regulate cotton output a variety of factors affect characteristic. As result, it is essential to have thorough knowledge relationships between different component traits quality. Thus, aim study was framed know about correlation along with cause-and-effe...
