Aflatoxins are toxic and potent carcinogenic metabolites produced from the fungi Aspergillus
flavus and A. parasiticus. Aflatoxins can contaminate cottonseed under conducive …

Background Gene families are sets of structurally and evolutionarily related genes–in one or
multiple species–that typically share a conserved biological function. As such, the …

Background High-throughput genotyping platforms play important roles in plant genomic
studies. Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the world's important natural textile fiber and oil crop …

We assembled a total of 297,239 Gossypium hirsutum (Gh, a tetraploid cotton, AADD)
expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences that were available in the National Center for …

Validation of suitable reference genes is critical in quantitative real-time polymerase chain
reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. Suitable and reliable reference genes for the normalization of …

Background Cotton is the leading fiber crop worldwide. Gossypium barbadense is an
important species of cotton because of its extra-long staple fibers with superior luster and …

We have constructed a cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) BAC library using the elite Acala-type
cultivar Maxxa. The BAC library contains 129 024 clones comprising 8.3 haploid genome …

Real time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR or qPCR) has been extensively applied for analyzing
gene expression because of its accuracy, sensitivity, and high throughput. However, the …

An RNA-Seq experiment was performed using field grown well-watered and naturally rain
fed cotton plants to identify differentially expressed transcripts under water-deficit stress. Our …

The genus Gossypium is one of the most economically important crops in the world. Here,
we used RNA-seq to quantify gene expression in a collection of G. arboreum seedlings and …
