Book Description
Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the most important fiber crop, and the US is the third largest cotton producer after India and China and the largest cotton exporter in the world. Verticillium wilt (VW, caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb.) is a destructive fungal soil-borne disease in Upland cotton production. High levels of VW resistance exist in Pima cotton (G. barbadense L.) and can be transferred into Upland cotton through interspecific introgression breeding. In a greenhouse study, VW resistance was evaluated in a multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) introgressed line (IL) population of 712 lines, generated from a Random mated Barbadense Upland Population (RMBUP-C4) derived from five cycles of random mating of crosses between three Upland cotton cultivars and 18 chromosome substitution lines (CSLs) each carrying a pair of Pima cotton chromosome or arm. The objectives of this study were to evaluate VW resistance of the MAGIC IL population in the greenhouse to identify ILs with VW resistance based on a total of four replicated greenhouse tests. In 2016-2017, a total of 712 MAGIC ILs derived from RMBUP-C4 were evaluated for VW resistance in two replicated tests (Test 1 and 2) each with two replications, followed by two additional replicated tests (Test 3 and 4) for 200 selected ILs from the entire MAGIC population based on the VW resistant performance in the greenhouse. Approximately 10 plants for each line in each replication were grown and screened for VW resistance using a double or triple root inoculation method based on three parameters, i.e., the disease severity rating, percentage of defoliated leaves and percentage of infected plants, with a total of 40,000 plants evaluated. Based on a correlation analysis indicating that the three traits were significantly and positively correlated with one another in each test, the disease severity rating was the best parameter to assess VW resistance due to its relatively low coefficient of variation and its difference in magnitude to differentiate resistant genotypes from susceptible ones. Of the 712 genotypes, 11 showed higher levels of resistance to VW with lower mean disease severity ratings (0.96- 1.33), percent defoliated leaves (7.97-36.31) and percent infected plants (25-100%) across the four tests and these lines are NMIL348, NMIL518, NMIL405, NMIL290, NMIL164, NMIL307, NMIL375, NMIL477, NMIL389, NMIL390, NMIL425, NMIL206, NMIL291, and NMIL398. These VW resistant ILs can be used as parental lines to improve VW resistance in cotton breeding programs.

Book Description
The genus Verticillium Nees represents one of the world's major fungal pathogens, affecting crop plants mostly in the cool and warm temperate regions, it also occurs in sub-tropical and tropical areas. There are some six species which cause severe wilting in trees, herbaceous plants and plantation crops. Other species are responsible for non-wilt diseases of banana and mushroom, another species infects insects.The monograph provides a comprehensive reference source on Verticillium, enabling research workers to see what has already been achieved and to identify the many new areas of research in which original contributions could be made to further the understanding and control of this important pathogen and the disease it causes.
