Magwanga, Richard; Lu, Pu; Kirungu, Joy Nyangasi; Cai, Xiaoyan; Zhou, Zhongli; Agong, Stephen Gaya; Wang, Kunbo; Liu, Fang (Springer Nature, 2020-02-02) -
Knockdown of Cytochrome P450 Genes Gh_D07G1197 and Gh_A13G2057 on Chromosomes D07 and A13 Reveals Their Putative Role in Enhancing Drought and Salt Stress Tolerance in Gossypium Hirsutum
Magwanga, Richard Odongo; Lu, Pu; Kirungu, Joy Nyangasi; Dong, Qi; Cai, Xiaoyan; Zhou, Zhongli; Wang, Xingxing; Hou, Yuqing; Xu, Yanchao; Peng, Renhai; Agong, Stephen Gaya; Wang, Kunbo; Fang, Liu (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-03)We identified 672, 374, and 379 CYPs proteins encoded by the CYPs genes in Gossypium hirsutum, Gossypium raimondii, and Gossypium arboreum, respectively. The genes were found to be distributed in all 26 chromosomes of the ... -
Knockdown of Ghalba_4 and Ghalba_5 Proteins in Cotton Inhibits Root Growth and Increases Sensitivity to Drought and Salt Stresses
Magwanga, Richard; Kirungu, Joy Nyangasi; Lu, Pu; Cai, Xiaoyan; Xu, Yanchao; Wang, Xingxing; Zhou, Zhongli; Hou, Yuqing; Agong, Stephen Gaya; Wang, Kunbo; Liu, Fang (Frontiers, 2019-10-15)We found 33, 17, and 20 Alba genes in Gossypium hirsutum, Gossypium arboretum, and Gossypium raimondii, respectively. The Alba protein lengths ranged from 62 to 312 aa, the molecular weight (MW) from 7.003 to 34.55 kDa, ... -
Map-Based Functional Analysis of the GhNLP Genes Reveals Their Roles in Enhancing Tolerance to N-Deficiency in Cotton
Magwanga, Richard Odongo; Kirungu, Joy Nyangasi; Lu, Pu; Cai, Xiaoyan; Zhou, Zhongli; Xu, Yanchao; Hou, Yuqing; Agong, Stephen Gaya; Wang, Kunbo; Liu, Fang (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-10-08)Nitrogen is a key macronutrient needed by plants to boost their production, but the development of cotton genotypes through conventional approaches has hit a bottleneck due to the narrow genetic base of the elite cotton ... -
QTL mapping of fiber quality and yield-related traits in an intra-specific upland cotton using genotype by sequencing (gbs)
Diouf, Latyr; Magwanga, Richard Odongo; Gong, Wenfang; He, Shoupu; Pan, Zhaoe; Jia, Yin Hua; Kirungu, Joy Nyangasi; Du, Xiongming (International Journal Molecular Science, 2018-02)Fiber quality and yield improvement are crucial for cotton domestication and breeding. With the transformation in spinning techniques and multiplicity needs, the development of cotton fiber quality and yield is of great ... -
