Genetics Studies

Genome-wide quantitative trait loci mapping on Verticillium wilt resistance in 300 chromosome segment substitution lines from Gossypium hirsutum × Gossypium barbadense.

Scientists conducted a study to identify genetic regions associated with resistance to Cotton Verticillium wilt (VW). They identified 40 relevant regions and 70 novel hotspot regions, which can be used in breeding programs to develop resistant cotton varieties.
