Engineering tolerance to CLCuD in transgenic Gossypium hirsutum cv. HS6 expressing Cotton leaf curl Multan virus-C4 intron hairpin
Abstract Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD), caused by begomoviruses in combination with betasatellite molecule, has adversely affected cotton industry of Indian subcontinent. To devise a CLCuD-control strategy, RNAi-mediated approach was followed in this study. Gossypium hirsutum cv. HS6 plants were...

To devise a CLCuD-control strategy, RNAi-mediated approach was followed in this study. Gossypium hirsutum cv.
