Genetic improvement of fibre quality is one of the main breeding goals for the upland cotton,
Gossypium hirsutum, but there are difficulties with precise selection of traits. Therefore, it is …

Summary Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) is the source of the world's finest fibre
quality cotton, yet relatively little is understood about genetic variations among diverse …

Improving cotton fibre quality is a major breeding goal for Upland cotton in China. To
investigate the genetic mechanisms of fibre quality, a diverse panel of 403 Upland cotton …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) has long been an important fiber crop, but the narrow
genetic diversity of modern G. hirsutum limits the potential for simultaneous improvement of …

The tetraploid species Gossypium hirsutum is cultivated widely throughout the world with
high yield and moderate fiber quality, but its genetic basis is narrow. A set of 107 …

Background Fiber quality is an important economic trait of cotton, and its improvement is a
major goal of cotton breeding. To better understand the genetic mechanisms responsible for …

Cotton is a valuable fiber crop which supplies raw material to more than 50 industries and is
produced in more than 70 countries worldwide. The superiority of cotton fiber over other …

A major breeding target in Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is to improve the fiber
quality. To address this issue, 169 diverse accessions, genotyped by 53,848 high-quality …

Fine mapping QTL s and identifying candidate genes for cotton fibre‐quality and yield traits
would be beneficial to cotton breeding. Here, we constructed a high‐density genetic map by …

Background The study of quantitative trait loci (QTL) in cotton (Gossypium spp.) is focused
on traits of agricultural significance. Previous studies have identified a plethora of QTL …
