The research had three parts: * Quantify the V AM fungi at depth in the soil * Determine the rate of colonisation of roots of cotton by V AM fungi.

A variety of proteins were purified from cotton seeds and were analysed by amino acid sequence determination (automated Edman degradation) and by state-of-the-art electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESMS).

The CSIRO cotton breeding program based at Narrabri has been very successful in developing varieties adapted to all cotton production regions in Australia.

This project was to provide the basic technical support at the molecular level for CSIRO' s cotton breeding program to develop new transgenic cotton varieties with improved agronomic characteristics.

This project aimed to estimate the capacity of Helicoverpa armigera to develop resistance to INGARD cotton, to examine the possibility of cross-resistance to other Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins and to elucidate t
