CRDC hosted a Futures Forum (Dec 2013) where key industry participants considered the future of the Australian cotton industry and the type of R&D investments that will make the industry profitable, sustainable an

Project objectives ( i) Conduct Verticillium wilt disease grading of F2 progeny from the intra-specific crosses G. hirsutum Sicala V-1 x Siokra 1-4 and Acala Royale x CS 50 and the inter-specific cross G.

The primary aim of this study was to investigate a range of strategies for the identification of molecular markers linked with Verticillium wilt response in cotton. The research was carried out on the parental G.

Modern molecular genetic techniques are used to examine Helicove1pa armigera for variation amongst individuals from different geographical locations around Australia.

Outbreaks of native budworm, Helicoverpa punctigera, often arise after egg laying by emigrant moths from distant populations.
