Data origin

The data (map and QTL) included in the cotton module of TropGENE DB have been obtained:

by Cirad teams in Montpellier for the mapping data of Guazuncho 2 x VH8 (BC1, BC2, RILs and consensus BC1+RIL) in various publications (see references)

by Andrew H Paterson group (Plant Genome Mapping Laboratory, University of Georgia), for the mapping data of palmeri x K101 (results detailed in Rong et al, Genetics, 2004, 166:389-41 ; Rong et al, Genetics, 176:2577-2588.

by Mauricio Ulloa group (USDA-ARS, Cotton Enhancement Program, Shafter, CA) and Russel Kohel groups (USDA-ARS, Crop Germplasm Unit, College station, TX), for the mapping data of TM1 x 3-79 (results detailed in Frelichowski et al, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2006, 275: 479-491)

by Tianzhen Zhang group (National Key Lab of Crop Genetic & Germplasm Ehancement and Cotton Research Institute College of Agriculture, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, China) for the mapping data of TM1 x Hai7124 - BC1 (results detailed in Guo et al. BMC Genomics 2008(9):314.

by Xianlong Zhang group (National Key Lab of Crop Genetic Improvement, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China) for the mapping data of CRI36 x Hai7124-F2 (results detailed in Yu et al, J Integ Plant Biology, 2007, 49(5): 716-724) and of Emian2 x Pima 3-79-BC1 (results detailes in Yu et al. BMC Genomics 2011, 12(1):15).

by collaborative projects involving Cirad and other institutions:
→ RFLP probes on Cirad map where kindly provided by AH Paterson (Plant Genome Mapping Laboratory, University of Georgia, USA)
→ Arabidopisis thaliana (markers with prefix "At") probes were developed within the European Eudicot Mapping project (EuDiCot)
→ all microsatellites with prefix "CIR", were developed within a collaborative project between Cirad and the "Centre National de Séquençage, Génoscope" of Evry (France)
