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 …

The primary gene pool for tetraploid cotton species includes Gossypium hirsutum L., as well
as the other four 2n= 52 species of Gossypium (G. barbadense, G. mustellinum, G …

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 taxonomy of Gossypium L.(the cotton genus) and its
evolutionary history. Gossypium contains more than 50 recognized species, including …

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

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

We present an overview of Gossypium genome evolution and the implications of this
understanding for targeted breeding objectives. The cotton genus (Gossypium) contains …

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 …

Allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium) species represents a model system for the study of plant
