The formation of allopolyploid cotton precipitated a rapid diversification and colonization of
dry coastal American tropical and subtropical regions. Previous phylogenetic analyses …

The origin and monophyly of the polyploid cotton (Gossypium) species has been largely
accepted, despite the lack of explicit phylogenetic evidence. Recent studies in other …

Gossypium, the cotton genus, includes∼ 50 species distributed in tropical and sub-tropical
regions of all continents except Europe. Here we provide a synopsis of the evolutionary …

Understanding the relationship between domesticated crop species and their wild relatives
is paramount to germplasm maintenance and the utilization of wild relatives in breeding …

The existence of five tetraploid species that derive from a common polyploidization event
about 1 million years ago makes Gossypium (cotton) an attractive genus in which to study …

Gossypium tomentosum is the only member of the cotton genus endemic to the Hawaiian
archipelago. It is morphologically distinct from other allopolyploid Gossypium species, and …

Allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium) species represents a model system for the study of plant
polyploidy, molecular evolution, and domestication. Here, chromosome-scale genome …

The two cultivated allopolyploid cottons, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense,
represent a remarkable example of parallel independent domestication, both involving …

We present an overview of the cotton genus (Gossypium) as a model for the study of
polyploidy. A synopsis of the origin and evolution of polyploid cotton is provided, offering an …

Abstract The Mexican cotton Gossypium gossypioides is a perplexing entity, with conflicting
morphological, cytogenetic, and molecular evidence of its phylogenetic affinity to other …
