Cotton, the leading natural fiber crop, is largely produced by two primary cultivated
allotetraploid species known as Upland or American cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and …

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

Cotton fiber development is a fundamental biological phenomenon, yet the molecular basis
of fiber cell initiation is poorly understood. We examined molecular and cellular events of …

Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense are the widely cultivated tetraploid cottons
around the world, which evolved great differences in the fiber yield and quality due to the …

Understanding the contribution of genetic background in fibre quality traits is important for
the development of future cotton varieties with superior fibre quality. We used Affymetrix …

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

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 …

Polyploidy plays a major role in genome evolution, which corresponds to environmental
changes over millions of years. The mechanisms of genome evolution, particularly during …

We have constructed a cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) BAC library using the elite Acala-type
cultivar Maxxa. The BAC library contains 129 024 clones comprising 8.3 haploid genome …

Phenotypic diversity and evolutionary innovation ultimately trace to variation in genomic
sequence and rewiring of regulatory networks. Here, we constructed a pan-genome of the …
