Research Project:
IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A DIRIGENT PROTEIN THAT CONTROLS THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF (+)-GOSSYPOL IN COTTON
Location: Cotton Pathology Research
Project Number: 6202-22000-031-18
Project Type:
Nonfunded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Mar 10, 2010
End Date: Mar 09, 2014
Objective:
1. Express cDNAs isolated from cotton that code for dirigent proteins in an insect/plant tissue culture system and assay for dirigent activity including the biosynthesis of (+)- or (-)-gossypol.
2. Transform cotton plants to optimize (+)-gossypol formation.
Approach:
Cooperator will express appropriate cDNA sequences from cotton provided by the ARS cooperator in an insect/plant tissue culture system and test their activity for formation of (+)- or (-)-gossypol.
