Plant & Animal Genome VI Conference Plant & Animal Genome VI Conference
W75
USDA-ARS, Crop Germplasm Research Unit, College Station, TX 77845
We will provide an overview of our cotton genome program. Specifically, we will
discuss a framework map based on an interspecific cross between G. hirsutum L.
acc. TM-1 and G. barbadense L. acc. 3-79. We will also discuss applications
of this map to different cotton genome mapping projects, including localization
of genes for both simple and complex traits of economic or agronomic importance.
Finally, we will present a current status of the cotton genome database, CottonDB,
maintained by our research unit. Detailed data and information will be exchanged
at the cotton workshop.
