ABSTRACT
The present study was carried out to increase the level of tolerance in Gossypium hirsutum L. against cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD). Hybridization of a transgenic line (anti-sense tRep gene) with three naturally resistant (non-transgenic) varieties namely FH-1000, MNH-786 and NIBGE-115 was performed. The parents and their F1 Hybrids were evaluated for disease infectivity. Data of some morphological traits (Plant Height, Monopodial Branches per Plant, Sympodial Branches per Plant, Number of Boll per Plant, Lint Percentage, Boll Weight, Staple Length, Staple Strength, Fiber Fineness, Yield of Seed Cotton ) was evaluated satanically to check the influence of disease on morphology of plant. The results showed that hybridization increased the tolerance level against cotton leaf curl virus.
