Reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) resistance is being transferred to Gossypium hirsutum from its distant relatives. Reports of fluometuron damage to LONREN lines with nematode resistance from G. longicalyx raised concerns about introducing herbicide sensitivity from other nematode resistance sources. The research objective was to evaluate 15 sources of reniform nematode resistance fo...

A bacterial artificial chromosome library and BAC-end sequences for cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) have recently been developed. This report presents genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mining utilizing resequencing data with BAC-end sequences as a reference by alignment of 12 G. hirsutum L. lines, one G. barbadense L. line, and one G. longicalyx Hutch and Lee line. A to...

Although much research has been conducted to characterize microsatellites and develop markers, the distribution of microsatellites remains ambiguous and the use of microsatellite markers in genomic studies and marker-assisted selection is limited. To identify microsatellites for cotton research, we mined 100,290, 83,160, and 56,937 microsatellites with frequencies of 41.2, 49.1, and 74.8 micros...

Genetic variation available for the improvement of fiber properties is restricted in commercial upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Resources for fiber improvement exist in G. barbadense L., but introgression of traits has been a limited success. The objectives of this study were to investigate the genetic variation and heritability of agronomic and fiber traits within a diverse recombinant ...

WHORLED mutant in G. herbaceum has been reported from the Agricultural A Research Station, Surat, Bombay State, India, by CHAVDA and PATEL (1954). It had some phenotypic resemblance to the cluster-short branch mutant reported previously (PATEL, MUNSHI, and PATEL, 1947) the important common characteristic being short one-noded fruiting branches terminating in more than one flower bud. While the ...

The genus Epilobium has about 200 species in which taxonomic subdivisions are difficult but possible. Species E. minutiflorum due to its fluffy white inflorescence and small miniature flowers beaked seeds, it is one of the most prominent region. We have no data on population genetic structure this Iran. Therefore a morphological investigation was performed through light variability taxa. used S...

Epilobium angustifolium has been traditionally used to treat of a number of diseases; however, not much is known regarding its effect on innate immune cells. In this study, we report that extracts of E. angustifolium activated functional responses in neutrophils and monocyte/macrophages. Activity-guided fractionation, followed by mass spectroscopy and NMR analysis, resulted in the identificatio...
