^(a)The vectors, pBeloBAC11 (Kim et al. [82]), pECBAC1 (Frijters et al. [82]), pCUGI-1 [79], and pIndigoBAC-5 (http://www.epibio.com/item.asp?ID=328), are BAC vectors whereas pCLD04541 is plant-transformation-competent BIBAC vector (http://www.jic.bbsrc.ac.uk/staff/ian-bancroft/vectorspage.htm; [83]) that can be directly transformed into cotton plants via Agrobacterium.
