Genome scale analysis of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase gene family in G. barbadense and its functions in cotton fiber development.

A class of proteins, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase (ACO), is required in the final step of production of ethylene from its immediate precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). Despite the crucial and regulatory role of ACO gene family in the fiber development, it has not been thoroughly analyzed and annotated in G. barbadense genome.

Consequences of Drought Stress Encountered During Seedling Stage on Physiology and Yield of Cultivated Cotton.

Survival of living organisms depends on the availability of water resources required for agriculture. In the current scenario of limited water resources, it is our priority to maximise the yield potential of crops with a minimum supply of available water. In this study, we evaluated seven cultivated varieties of (FH-114, FH-152, FH-326, FH-492, FH-942, VH-327 and FH-NOOR) for their tolerance, yield potential and fibre quality under water shortages.
