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, ... -
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. ...
