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 …

Background Cotton has been cultivated and used to make fabrics for at least 7000 years.
Two allotetraploid species of great commercial importance, Gossypium hirsutum and …

Background Modern allotetraploid cotton contains an “A” and “D” genome from an ancestral
polyploidy event that occurred approximately 1–2 million years ago. Diploid A-and D …

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

Background SNPs are the most abundant polymorphism type, and have been explored in
many crop genomic studies, including rice and maize. SNP discovery in allotetraploid cotton …

Cotton is a major fiber plant, which provides raw materials for clothing, protecting humans
from the harsh environment of cold or hot weathers, enriching the culture and custom of …
