We present an overview of the cotton genus (Gossypium) as a model for the study of
polyploidy. A synopsis of the origin and evolution of polyploid cotton is provided, offering an …

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

Allopolyploidization is accompanied by changes in gene expression that are thought to
contribute to phenotypic diversification. Here we describe global changes in the single …

The origin and monophyly of the polyploid cotton (Gossypium) species has been largely
accepted, despite the lack of explicit phylogenetic evidence. Recent studies in other …

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

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 …

For several years allopolyploid cottons have been the subject of evolutionary investigations
into the genomic mysteries of polyploidy. An array of genomic interactions have been …

Genome duplication is thought to be central to the evolution of morphological complexity,
and some polyploids enjoy a variety of capabilities that transgress those of their diploid …
