“…Our results on the other hand agree with the conclusions derived from classical techniques (geographical, morphological, cytological and genetical) and support the theory of a monophyletic or common ancestral origin of these three allotetraploids. Other biochemical results concerning the relationship of the species within the genus Gossypium, i.e., nucleic acid composition Ergle et al (1964), and amino acid analyses, Sarvella and Stojanovic (1968), are supported by the acrylamide gel electrophoretic data presented in this paper.…”

“…Recently, some studies have been made on the chemical composition of cottonseeds belonging to different species of Gossypium. Ergle, Katterman & Richmond (1964), Katterman & Ergle (1970) and Edwards, Endrizzi & Stein (1974) reported on the nucleic acids of some species. Cherry, Katterman & Endrizzi (1970) made electrophoretic studies on protein patterns of different species and varieties.…”

SUMMARYChemical analyses were carried out on the three main commercial varieties in the Sudan and some wild species of Gossypium. A genome-specific pattern was not found for either the oil content, fatty acids, amino acids or seed index. G. sturtianum differed significantly from the other species in oil content with a substantial amount of unsaturated fatty acids and of the essential amino acids. A breeding programme has been started to incorporate such desirable characters into the commercial varieties.

“…This is especially true in prokaryotes (Lee et al ., 1956 1959 ;Edelman et al, 1967 ;Green, 1974) and fungi (Storck & Alexopoulos, 1970) . However, base pair data for higher plants exhibit smaller G + C% ranges at all taxonomic levels and consequently have little taxonomic value (Ergle & Katterman, 1961 ;Ergle et al, 1964, Biswas & Sarkar, 1970Green, 1971 ;Wilson et al, 1976).…”

Variation in nuclear DNA base composition (mol % G + C) in three orders of marine green algae

et al. 1990

Estimates of nuclear DNA base pair composition by determination of thermal denaturation temperatures (Tm ) indicated guanine + cytosine (G + C) levels of 35-56% for 17 species of marine green algae . Tm values were found to be reproducible with coefficients of variation among samples and replicates of generally less than 1 percent . G + C % values in four species of Enteromorpha varied within a narrow range of 53-56%, whereas values for three species of Ulva showed substantially greater variation, ranging from 35-55% . Ulva fasciata collections from two geographically separate North Carolina sites had mean G + C composition of 44 .8 and 35 .6 respectively, suggesting that these populations may be genetically distinct. Enteromorpha linza, which has been treated as a species of Ulva, had a G + C composition of 53 .2, typical of the Enteromorpha species investigated . Nuclear DNA base pair composition data for species of Cladophorales and Caulerpales are given as well .
