Publisher Summary This chapter presents a comprehensive review of the published
information on the cytology, genetics, and evolution of Gossypium. In addition, it presents …

Structural variations (SVs) have long been described as being involved in the origin,
adaption, and domestication of species. However, the underlying genetic and genomic …

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 …

The cultivated Gossypium spp.(cotton) represents the single most important, natural fiber
crop in the world. In addition to its fiber, the oil and protein portion of the cottonseed also …

Cotton is not only the world's most important natural fiber crop, but it is also an ideal system
in which to study genome evolution, polyploidization, and cell elongation. With the assembly …

Recent work has demonstrated that allopolyploid speciation in plants may be associated
with non-Mendelian genomic changes in the early generations following polyploid …

The challenge in tetraploid cotton cultivars is the narrow genetic base and therefore, the
bottleneck is how to obtain interspecific hybrids and introduce the germplasm directly from …

Background Polyploidy has played a prominent role in shaping the genomic architecture of
the angiosperms. Through allopolyploidization, several modern Gossypium (cotton) species …

In the past decade, several molecular maps of cotton have been constructed using diverse
DNA molecular markers and mapping populations. In this study, an interspecific linkage map …

This study introduces the construction of the first intraspecific genetic linkage map of the A‐
genome diploid cotton with newly developed simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers using …
