Toward high-resolution mapping of genes conferring resistance in cotton to the bacterial blight pathogen

A detailed RFLP map was used to determine the chromosomal locations and subgenomic distributions of genes/QTLs in cotton (Gossypium spp.) that confer different levels of resistance to the bacterial blight pathogen, Xanthomonas campestris pv. malvacearum (Xcm). In most cases, genetic mapping corroborated classical predictions regarding the number, and dosage effects, of genes conferring resistance to different Xcm races. One recessive resistance allele (...
