Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the single most important spinning fiber that has economic
significance worldwide. Cotton is one of the most value-added crops and an excellent model …

The Asiatic or A‐genome cottons, Gossypium arboreum L. and G. herbaceum L., are
potentially important genetic resources for cotton breeding programs. The National Plant …

Pima cotton (G ossypium barbadense) is widely cultivated because of its long, strong seed
trichomes ('fibers') used for premium textiles. These agronomically advanced fibers were …

Polyploidy refers to two or more complete sets of chromosomes that are combined within a
nucleus, and includes both autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy (Otto 2007). Polyploidy is a …

A global analysis of cotton (Gossypium spp.) genetic diversity is the first step to
understanding its geographical distribution, dissemination, genetic relatedness, and …

Abstract.—Experimental advanced‐generation backcross populations contain individuals
with genomic compositions similar to those resulting from interspecific hybridization in …

The Gossypium genus has more than 50 species that are available to use as germplasm; 5
species, including G. hirsutum, are allotetraploids while the rest are diploid species. The 7 …

The morphology of cotton leaves varies considerably. Phenotypes, including okra, sea-
island, super-okra, and broad leaf, are controlled by a multiple allele locus, L2. Okra leaf …

Abstract Introduction Allotetraploid upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is native to the
Mesoamerican and Caribbean regions, had been improved in the southern United States by …

Background Genetically anchored physical maps of large eukaryotic genomes have proven
useful both for their intrinsic merit and as an adjunct to genome sequencing. Cultivated …
