Cloning, Characterization, and Evolution of the NBS-LRR-Encoding Resistance Gene Analogue Family in Polyploid Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
The nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR)-encoding gene family has attracted much research interest because approximately 75% of the plant disease resistance genes that have been cloned to date are from this gene family.We cloned the NBS-LRR-encoding genes from polyploid cotton by a polymerase chain reaction-based approach.A sample
