Melanin biosynthesis in Verticillium dahliae Kleb. was studied with mutants deficient for normal black melanin or production of microsclerotia. Seven genetically different had apparent blocks biosynthesis. Four (brm-I to -4) produced brown microsclerotia and extruded pigments into media; three (alm-1 -3) albino Other no (nms) greatly reduced numbers (rms). Mutation alm-1 due a single recessive gene; the other melanin-deficient characters were but their genetic bases not determined. Cultures...

Absence of sources resistance to the reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis Linford & Oliveira, 1940, is a major impediment production upland cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) in USA. In this study, two trispecies hybrids G. , longicalyx J.B. Hutch. B.J.S. Lee, and either armourianum Kearney or herbaceum L. were used as bridges introgress high nematode from into Introgression was accomplished by recurrent backcrosses with cytogenetic analysis early backcross generations assess...

To determine the ability of southern green stink bug (SGSB) (Nezara viridula L.) to transmit Pantoea agglomerans into cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) bolls.An SGSB laboratory colony was kept on fresh beans. A P. variant resistant rifampicin (Rif) (strain Sc 1-R) used as opportunistic pathogen. Adult insects were individually provided beans that sterilized and then soaked in either sterile water or a suspension strain 1-R. Insects caged with an unopened greenhouse-grown boll. After 2 days, live...

A highly virulent cotton wilt pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum VCG0114 (race 4) was found in West Texas 2017, after being known California since 2001. Isolates obtained from wilted plants collected 2017 Texas, 2015 China, and during 2001 to 2014 isolates historical collections including the race 4 reference isolate were characterized by soil-infestation pathogenicity assays, DNA sequence analysis, vegetative compatibility analysis. All F. belonged VCG0114. of these isolates,...

Gossypol occurs as a mixture of enantiomers in cottonseed. These exhibit different biological activities. The (−)-enantiomer is toxic to animals, but it has potential medicinal uses. Therefore, cottonseed with >95% (−)-gossypol could have biopharmaceutical applications. (+)-enantiomer shows little, if any, toxicity nonruminant animals. Thus, (+)-gossypol be more readily utilized feed for nonruminants. (+)- ratio commercial Upland (Gossypium hirsutum) usually about 3:2, whereas that Pima...
