    Abstract:
    The technique of promoter trapping was developed to investigate its viability in cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) functional genomics. 141 independent transformants of cotton were generated via Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation, of which 97% showed positive by PCR detection. The reporter, GUS gene, was expressed to different extent in different organs, with a frequency of 48% in roots, 9.2% in vascular bundles of stem, 5.2% in leaves, and 51% in flowers. Meanwhile, we discovered that there existed great differences in expression patterns among different transgenic lines. Their GUS expression patterns were organ- or tissue-specific or ubiquitous in all of the plants. The promoter trapping system developed here was characterized as an effective method for creating mutants with diverse reporter gene expression patterns, which laid a solid foundation for further research of functional genomics in cotton.
