We employed phylogenomic methods to study molecular evolutionary processes and
phylogeny in the geographically widely dispersed New World diploid cottons (Gossypium …

The New World allopolyploid (AD-genome) cottons (Gossypium) originated through
hybridization of ancestral diploid species that presently have allopatric ranges in Africa-Asia …

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

We present an overview of the evolution and diversity in Gossypium (the cotton genus). This
framework facilitates insight into fundamental aspects of plant biology, provides the …

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

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 …

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 …

Allotetraploid cotton species (Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense) have long
been cultivated worldwide for natural renewable textile fibers. The draft genome sequences …

Allotetraploid cotton is an economically important natural-fiber-producing crop worldwide.
After polyploidization, Gossypium hirsutum L. evolved to produce a higher fiber yield and to …

Domestication in the cotton genus is remarkable in that it has occurred independently four
different times at two different ploidy levels. Relatively little is known about genome evolution …
