Abstract Background Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is a very important cash crop
known for its high quality natural fiber. Recent advances in sequencing technologies provide …

Background Numerous quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes associated with
yield-related traits have been identified in cotton by genome-wide association study (GWAS) …

Abstract Introduction Sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense, Gb) is one of the major
sources of high-grade natural fiber. Besides the common annual Gb cotton, perennial Gb …

Fiber quality and yield are important traits of cotton. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping is
a prerequisite for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in cotton breeding. To identify QTLs for …

Limited polymorphism and narrow genetic base, due to genetic bottleneck through historic
domestication, highlight a need for comprehensive characterization and utilization of …

Key message Genetic variation in a G. barbadense population was revealed using
resquencing. GWAS on G. barbadense population identified several candidate genes …

Gossypium hirsutum is a high yield cotton species that exhibits only moderate performance
in fiber qualities. A promising but challenging approach to improving its phenotypes is …

Cotton is a significant commercial crop that plays an indispensable role in many domains.
Constructing high-density genetic maps and identifying stable quantitative trait locus (QTL) …

Background The identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that are stable and consistent
across multiple environments and populations plays an essential role in marker-assisted …

Introduction The simultaneous improvement of fiber quality and yield for cotton is strongly
limited by the narrow genetic backgrounds of Gossypium hirsutum (Gh) and the negative …
