Differential transcript profiling alters regulatory gene expression during the development of Gossypium arboreum, G.stocksii and somatic hybrids.

ABSTRACT: Polyploidy or genome doubling (i.e., the presence of two or more diploid parental genome sets within an organism) are very important in higher plants. Of particular interest are the mechanisms in the new microenvironment of the common nucleus, where doubled regulatory networks interact to generate a viable genetic system capable of regulating growth, development and responses to the environment. To determine the effects of whole genome merging and doubling on the global gene expression architecture of a new polyploid, derived from protoplast fusion of the A₁A₁ genome of Gossypium arboreum and the E₁E₁ genome of Gossypium stocksii, we monitored gene expression through cDNA-AFLP in the somatic hybrids (G. arboreum + G. stocksii). The genomic expres
