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

Background Cotton has been cultivated and used to make fabrics for at least 7000 years.
Two allotetraploid species of great commercial importance, Gossypium hirsutum and …

Allotetraploid cotton is an economically important natural-fiber-producing crop worldwide.
After polyploidization, Gossypium hirsutum L. evolved to produce a higher fiber yield and to …

Understanding the composition, evolution, and function of the Gossypium hirsutum (cotton)
genome is complicated by the joint presence of two genomes in its nucleus (AT and DT …

Allotetraploid cotton species (Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense) have long
been cultivated worldwide for natural renewable textile fibers. The draft genome sequences …

We present an overview of Gossypium genome evolution and the implications of this
understanding for targeted breeding objectives. The cotton genus (Gossypium) contains …

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 …

Upland cotton is a model for polyploid crop domestication and transgenic improvement.
Here we sequenced the allotetraploid Gossypium hirsutum L. acc. TM-1 genome by …

Background Cotton is the world's most important natural textile fiber and a significant oilseed
crop. Decoding cotton genomes will provide the ultimate reference and resource for …

Multiple cotton genomes (diploid and tetraploid) have been assembled. However, genomic
variations between cultivars of allotetraploid upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), the …
