Transcriptome analysis of the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)-tolerant cotton chromosome substitution line CS-B15sh and its susceptible parental lines G. hirsutum L. cv. Tex... by Loida M. Perez, Ramil Mauleon, Mark A. Arick, Zenaida V. Magbanua, Daniel G. Peterson, Jeffrey F. D. Dean, Te Ming Tseng

“…CS-B15sh was developed in the genetic background of Gossypium hirsutum L. cv TM-1 and has chromosome introgression on the short arm of chromosome 15 from Gossypium barbadense L. cv. Pima 379. In a previous experiment, we observed reduced translocation of [14C]2,4-D outside the treated leaf tissue in CS-B15sh, which contrasted with an increased translocation of the herbicide in the tissues above and below the treated leaf in TM-1. …”
