Abstract—Cotton is extensively grown throughout the globe and comprises the most …

Key message The fuzzless gene GaFzl was fine mapped to a 70-kb region containing a
GIR1 gene, Cotton_A_11941, responsible for the fuzzless trait in Gossypium arboreum …

Fuzzless Gossypium hirsutum mutants are ideal materials for investigating cotton fiber
initiation and development. In this study, we used the fuzzless G. hirsutum mutant Xinluzao …

Fuzzless mutants are ideal materials to decipher the regulatory network and mechanism
underlying fuzz initiation and formation. In this study, we utilized two Gossypium arboreum …

Cotton fibres, as single cells arising from the seed coat, can be classified as lint and fuzz
according to their final length. Gossypium arboreum is a cultivated diploid cotton species …

Cotton seeds are typically covered by lint and fuzz fibres. Natural 'fuzzless' mutants are an
ideal model system for identifying genes that regulate cell initiation and elongation. Here …

Fibers of cultivated cotton are classified into two types, lint and fuzz. Fuzzless seeds are
cotton seeds lacking fuzz on almost the whole surface of the seed except for small amounts …

Fiber mutants are unique and valuable resources for understanding the genetic and
molecular mechanisms controlling initiation and development of cotton fibers that are …

Key message Genomic and genetic resources of G. mustelinum were effective for identifying
genes for qualitative and quantitative traits. Abstract Gossypium mustelinum represents the …

Most commercially produced cotton cultivars have two types of fibers on the seed coat, short
fuzz and long lint. Lint fiber is used in the textile industry, while fuzz is considered an …
