For the first time, a sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) thaumatin-like protein gene (GbTLP1) with a potential role in secondary cell wall development has been overexpressed in tobacco to elucidate its function. The presence of the transgene was verified by Southern blotting and higher

A 993-bp regulatory region upstream of the translation start codon of subtilisin-like serine protease gene was isolated from Gossypium barbadense. This (T/A)AAAG-rich region, GbSLSP, and its 5'- and 3'-truncated versions were transferred into tobacco and Arabidopsis after fusing with GUS or GFP.

The cotton (Gossypium arboreum) stress-related gene GHSP26 responds to dehydration. To elucidate its stress tolerant mechanism at the transcriptional level, we isolated and characterized the promoter region (PGHSP26, -2,831 bp) flanking the 5' GHSP26 coding region from the genomic DNA. A series of

Asiatic cottons [Gossypium arboreum (L.)] have been investigated as a source of resistance to the tobacco budworm [Heliothis virescens (Fab.)] because their diversely colored petals have been presumed to contain various allelochemicals. However, we found that larvae fedG. arboreum squares (buds)

Ethylene-responsive factors (ERFs) are commonly considered to play an important role in pathogen defense responses. However, only few of ERF members have been characterized in Sea island cotton (Gossypium barbadense). Here, we reported a novel AP2/ERF transcription factors gene, named GbERFb which

Cotton production is widely effected by Cotton Leaf Curl Virus (CLCuV) in world posing serious losses to cotton yield.The CRT genes from CLCuV resistant G. arboreum and CLCuV susceptible G. hirsutum were cloned and sequenced to know the differences of protein composition in both species. Molecular

Plant profilin genes encode core cell-wall structural proteins and are evidenced for their up-regulation under cotton domestication. Notwithstanding striking discoveries in the genetics of cell-wall organization in plants, little is explicit about the manner in which profilin-mediated molecular

The study described here has optimized the conditions for virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in three cultivated cotton species (Gossypium hirsutum, G. arboreum, and G. herbaceum) using a Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) vector. The system was used to silence the homolog of the Arabidopsis thaliana

A novel stress tolerance cDNA fragment encoding GhDRIN1 protein was identified and its regulation was studied in cotton boll tissues and seedlings subjected to various biotic and abiotic stresses. Phylogenetic and conserved domain prediction indicated that GhDRIN1 was annotated with a hypothetical

Female moths of the tobacco budworm,Heliothis virescens (F.), oviposit in the terminals of the cotton plant,Gossypium hirsutum (L.). The hatched larvae migrate to the terminal area and then to small squares (buds), on which they feed, finally burrowing into the anthers where they grow and develop.

Transgenic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) lines expressing the tobacco glutathione S-transferase (GST) Nt107 were evaluated for tolerance to chilling, salinity, and herbicides, antioxidant enzyme activity, antioxidant compound levels, and lipid peroxidation. Although transgenic seedlings exhibited

Tobacco Streak Virus (TSV) belongs to the genus Ilarvirus of the family Bromoviridae an emerging pathogen posing threat to the crop species worldwide. Identification of symptoms due to TSV infection by visual observation of plants often results in misdiagnosis as symptoms produced by this virus can

Cotton fiber is an extremely long plant cell. Fiber elongation is a complex process and the genes that are crucial for elongation are largely unknown. We previously cloned a cDNA encoding an isoform of cotton profilin and found that the gene (designated GhPFN1) was preferentially expressed in cotton

A gene (G9) expressed during late microsporogenesis in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) was isolated. Sequence analysis of the cDNA (1.3 kb) as well as the gene (2.6 kb) revealed an open reading frame of 1233 bases encoding a protein of 43.9 kDa. The coding region of the gene is interrupted by three

CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that overexpression of the GhWRKY39 - 1 gene enhances resistance to pathogen infection and tolerance to high salt and oxidative stress in transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana. UNASSIGNED WRKY transcription factor genes play significant roles in the response to biotic and
