Mexico is the center of origin and genetic diversity of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.),
the most important source of natural fiber in the world. Currently, wild and domesticated …

We report genetic maps for diploid (D) and tetraploid (AtDt) Gossypium genomes composed
of sequence-tagged sites (STS) that foster structural, functional, and evolutionary genomic …

Abstract Introduction Allotetraploid upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is native to the
Mesoamerican and Caribbean regions, had been improved in the southern United States by …

Pima cotton (G ossypium barbadense) is widely cultivated because of its long, strong seed
trichomes ('fibers') used for premium textiles. These agronomically advanced fibers were …

Genome duplication is thought to be central to the evolution of morphological complexity,
and some polyploids enjoy a variety of capabilities that transgress those of their diploid …

New World tetraploid cottons (Gossypium spp.) originated through hybridization of ancestral
diploid species that presently have allopatric ranges in Asia-Africa (the A genome) and the …

Background Understanding the evolutionary genetics of modern crop phenotypes has a
dual relevance to evolutionary biology and crop improvement. Modern upland cotton …

Abstract The Evolution of Gossypium undoubtedly represents one of the most valuable
monographs that have appeared in recent years in the fields of genetics, evolutionary theory …

The ancestors of Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium herbaceum provided the A
subgenome for the modern cultivated allotetraploid cotton. Here, we upgraded the G …

The cultivated Gossypium spp.(cotton) represents the single most important, natural fiber
crop in the world. In addition to its fiber, the oil and protein portion of the cottonseed also …
