Cotton Gene Expression Microarrays

Cotton is the world’s most significant textile and oilseed crop and Gossypium hirsutum is the most widely cultivated cotton. Genetic improvement of cotton fiber production for increased yield & quality has major economic impact. Cotton is a model for plant genome evolution, polyploidization and cellulose biosynthesis.Gene expression analysis using Agilent’s highly sensitive Cotton Microarray is a critical tool functional genomic research and breeding. Oligonucleotide quality, probe design and protocol flexibility allow us to obtain wide dynamic range, and unmatched sensitivity and reproducibility.
