Characterization of the late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins family and their role in drought stress tolerance in upland cotton
Magwanga, Richard Odongo; Lu, Pu; Kirungu, Joy Nyangasi; Lu, Hejun; Wang, Xingxing; Cai, Xiaoyan; Zhou, Zhongli; Zhang, Zhenmei; Salih, Haron; Wang, Kunbo; Liu, Fang (2018)Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are large groups of hydrophilic proteins with major role in drought and other abiotic stresses tolerance in plants. In-depth study and characterization of LEA protein families ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) Genetic Linkage Map of D Genome Diploid Cotton Derived from an Interspecific Cross between Gossypium davidsonii and Gossypium klotzschianum
Kirungu, Joy; Deng, Yanfeng; Cai, Xiaoyan; Magwanga, Richard; Zhou, Zhongli; Wang, Xingxing; Wang, Yuhong; Zhang, Zhenmei; Wang, Kunbo; Liu, Fang (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2018-01-11)The challenge in tetraploid cotton cultivars is the narrow genetic base and therefore, the bottleneck is how to obtain interspecific hybrids and introduce the germplasm directly from wild cotton to elite cultivars. ...
