Cotton is not only the world's most important natural fiber crop, but it is also an ideal system
in which to study genome evolution, polyploidization, and cell elongation. With the assembly …

Gossypium hirsutum contributes the most production of cotton fibre, but G. barbadense is
valued for its better comprehensive resistance and superior fibre properties. However, the …

Long-distance insular dispersal is associated with divergence and speciation because of
founder effects and strong genetic drift. The cotton tribe (Gossypieae) has experienced …

Whole genome duplication (polyploidy) represents a primary mechanism of sympatric
speciation, especially in plants where it is particularly prevalent. In this chapter, we focus on …

Gossypium barbadense is widely cultivated because of its extra‐long staple cotton with
superior luster, silkiness and high yield. These economically important traits were selected …

Upon assembling the first Gossypium herbaceum (A1) genome and substantially improving
the existing Gossypium arboreum (A2) and Gossypium hirsutum ((AD) 1) genomes, we …

Cultivated cotton fiber has undergone transformation from short, coarse fibers found in
progenitor wild species to economically important, long, fine fibers grown globally …

A GOOD many years ago Sir EC Buck, KCSI, then Secretary to the Government of India in
the Department of Revenue and Agriculture, requested me to prepare an account of the …

Abstract.—Experimental advanced‐generation backcross populations contain individuals
with genomic compositions similar to those resulting from interspecific hybridization in …

The" corky" alleles in New World cottons have essentially the same pattern of inheritance as
the ABO blood group alleles in man. They may be used similarly as tracers of phylogenetic …
