Identification of AFLP markers that discriminate between cultivated cotton and the Hawaiian island endemic, Gossypium tomentosum Nuttall ex Seeman
2005-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Interspecific gene flow from crop species into wild relatives may compromise the genetic integrity of native species and in the case of transgenic crops lead to the escape of transgenes into natural populations. Approximately 72% of the upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) acreage grown in the United States in 2000 utilized transgenic cultivars. The closest relative of G. hirsutum is G. tomentosum Nuttall ex Seem...
