1 University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad Use of Male sterility in Cotton and Molecular Markers for fertility Restoration in CGMS of G.hirsutum Cotton Dr.I.S.Katageri Professor and Head Dept. Biotechnology(IABT) College of Agriculture, Dharwad 1

2 Why hybrids? Seed cotton yield superiority ( %) than better parents and commercial checks Blending of Traits : Interspecific hybrids-yield, fibre quality, pest tolerance, abiotic stress tolerance Seed industry- about Rs. 4000crores (Of the Rs 10,000 crore Indian seed market, almost 40 per cent is dominated by Bt cotton) 100% seed replacement Picked up area in India : 95% ( Bt cotton.) and Middle East Regions, Egypt 2

3 DHH 1062 Hybrid and Middle East Regions, Egypt 3

4 DHB 1071 Cotton hybrid Research Net Work Meet Mediterranean and Middle East Regions, Egypt 4

5 G.Hirsutum Sahana G.arboreum DLSa17/ G.herbaceum DDhC11 5

6 Defoliation due to grey mildew

7 Yield : 9-10 q/ha Fibre length : mm GOT (%) : 31 Mic. Value : 5.0 Fibre strength : g/tex Counts : 20s-24s Dharwad Desi Colour Cotton 7

8 Hybrids - History makers Hybrid development : 1890s (India).1940 (commercial scale, H4,C.T. Patel) Varalaxmi (1970) and Jaylaxmi (1980) B. H Katagraki 8

10 Cotton Hybrid seed production Doak method of emasculation, Hand Pollination Labor shortage, cost increase.. Rs. 200 (US$ 3) per kilogram seed: avaialble to Almost double now (Rs. 400 )-Major labor, and Middle East Regions, Egypt 10

11 Possibilities of Reduction of labor cost GMS/ CGMS application Cytoplasmic genetic male sterility system(meyer 1973 ) CMS line of G. harkensii cytoplasm- highly stable and fertility restoration is possible Suguna was the first hybrid - genetic male sterility (Gregg male sterile) in public sector and MECH 4 in private sector. and Middle East Regions, Egypt 11

12 Why not picked up? Ill effect of sterile cytoplasm-boll size Restorer-maintenance, diversification Necessity of hand pollination In diversification-molecular markers enhance breeding and Middle East Regions, Egypt 12

13 CMS and Restoration CMS line (A-line) CMS, rfrf C1 N 1 x C1 N 1 Maintainer line (B-line) N, rfrf Large amounts of CMS line C1 N 1 x N 2 C2 Male line (C-line) N and RfRf C1 Fertile F 1 hybrid CMS, Rfrf and Middle East Regions, Egypt

14 What is possible through Molecular Markers? Their tight association with trait of interest Possible to convert diverse lines into restorers Maintenance of fertility restorer trait and Middle East Regions, Egypt 14

15 What is to report here?
