Abstract:

In order to analyze a transgenic event of an upland cotton germplasm strain with low expression of a Bt gene,specific primers were used to identify the Bt gene.The PCR amplification result showed a fragment length of the Bt gene was 310 bp,which conformed characteristic primer fragment length to Bt gene of the United States.Using the germplasm strain to cross with island cotton Shengli No.1 showed that the Bt gene was dominant in F1,and Bt-harboring plants to non-harboring plants displayed a 3∶1 segregation ratio in F2 population.The result proved that the Bt gene was a quality trait controlled by a pair of dominant gene,which meant the foreign Bt gene was inserted into upland cotton as a locus.Furthermore,F2 population and SSR markers were used in the gene mapping.The result revealed that the Bt gene was mapped on the 10th chromosome of cotton,and 14 pairs of primers were linked to the target gene,such as NAU5166,NAU3574,NAU456,BNL256,cgr6745,cgr5406,cgr6546,NAU7110,HAU3201,BNL1665,dPL0468,NAU5316,BNL2960,NAU3122.The Bt gene was located between the molecular markers NAU7110 and HAU3201,and its genetic distance was 0.9,4.4 cM,respectively.
