Project Number: 6202-22000-026-11
Project Type: Specific Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Dec 15, 2004
End Date: Dec 14, 2009

Objective:
The object of this Specific Cooperative Agreement is to expedite introduction of reniform nematode resistance from Gossypium longicalyx into Upland cotton by identifying molecular markers that can be used for marker-assisted breeding.

Approach:
The approach is expected to include the following elements. While there will be a logical progression of work, specific elements need not be entirely in sequence; some overlap is likely: 1. Create DNA samples 2. G. longicalyx AFLP Molecular Marker Development 3. Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) 4. Linkage Analysis 5. High-resolution Marker Association (if time and resources permit)
