Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Evolutionary Divergence and Shared Network of Cold and Salt Stress Response in Diploid D-Genome Cotton
Xu, Yanchao; Magwanga, Richard Odongo; Jin, Dingsha; Cai, Xiaoyan; Hou, Yuqing; Juyun, Zheng; Agong, Stephen Gaya; Wang, Kunbo; Liu, Fang; Zhou, Zhongli (Springer Nature, 2020-11-12) -
Effects of Colchicine Treatments on Chromosome Doubling in Three Diploid Cotton Species
Mustafa, Nada S.; Liu, Fang; Magwanga, Richard; Wang, Xingxing; Cai, Xiaoyan; Zhang, Zhenmei; Wang, Kunbo (Journal of Multidisciplinary Engineering Science and Technology, 2017-04-04)Colchicine has been used to induce chromosome doubling in plant species. Diploid cotton species have inherited desirable genes that are resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses and also possesses useful fiber quality traits, ... -
GBS Mapping and Analysis of Genes Conserved between Gossypium tomentosum and Gossypium hirsutum Cotton Cultivars that Respond to Drought Stress at the Seedling Stage of the BC2F2 Generation
Magwanga, Richard; Lu, Pu; Kirungu, Joy; Diouf, Latyr; Dong, Qi; Hu, Yangguang; Cai, Xiaoyan; Xu, Yanchao; Hou; Zhou, Zhongli; Wang, Xingxing; Wang, Kunbo; Liu, Fang (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2018-05-30)Cotton production is on the decline due to ever-changing environmental conditions. Drought and salinity stress contribute to over 30% of total loss in cotton production, the situation has worsened more due to the narrow ... -
Genome wide identification of cotton C-repeat binding factor (CBF) and overexpression of Gthu17439 (GthCBF4) gene confer cold stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana
Liu, Jiangna; Magwanga, Richard; Xu, Yanchao; Wei, Tingting; Zheng, Jie; Hou, Yuqing; Wang, Yuhong; Agong, Stephen; Wang, Kunbo; Zhou, Zhongli; Cai, Xiaoyan; Liu, Fang (Preprints, 2021-01-12)Low temperature is a common biological abiotic stress in major cotton growing areas. Cold stress significantly affects the growth, yield and yield quality of cotton. Therefore, it is important to develop a more robust and ... -
Identification of QTLs and Candidate Genes for Physiological Traits Associated with Drought Tolerance in Cotton

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
