Here, we describe the evolution of gene expression among a diversified cohort of five
allopolyploid species in the cotton genus (Gossypium). Using this phylogenetic framework …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important natural fiber crop worldwide. The diversity of
Gossypium species also provides an ideal model for investigating evolution and …

Upland cotton is the most important natural-fiber crop. The genomic variation of diverse
germplasms and alleles underpinning fiber quality and yield should be extensively explored …

Recombination breaks up ancestral linkage disequilibrium, creates combinations of alleles,
affects the efficiency of natural selection, and plays a major role in crop domestication and …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.), as the world's most utilized textile fibre
source, is an important, economically valuable crop worldwide. Understanding the genomic …

Background Polyploidy has played a prominent role in shaping the genomic architecture of
the angiosperms. Through allopolyploidization, several modern Gossypium (cotton) species …

Allotetraploid cotton species are a vital source of spinnable fiber for textiles. The polyploid
nature of the cotton genome raises many evolutionary questions as to the relationships …

Of the two cultivated species of allopolyploid cotton, Gossypium barbadense produces extra-
long fibers for the production of superior textiles. We sequenced its genome (AD) 2 and …

The current study is the first installment of an effort to explore the secondary gene pool for
the enhancement of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) germplasm. We developed …

Crop wild relatives are an important reservoir of natural biodiversity. However, incorporating
wild genetic diversity into breeding programs is often hampered by reproductive barriers and …
