Abstract Background Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) accounts for about 95% of
world cotton production. Improving Upland cotton cultivars has been the focus of world-wide …

Identification of stable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) across different environments and
mapping populations is a prerequisite for marker-assisted selection (MAS) for cotton yield …

The superior fiber properties of Gossypium barbadense L. serve as a source of novel
variation for improving fiber quality in Upland cotton (G. hirsutum L.), but introgression from …

Abstract Background Sea island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) has markedly superior
high quality fibers, which plays an important role in the textile industry and acts as a donor …

The molecular genetic basis of cotton fiber strength and fineness in crosses between
Gossypium mustelinum and Gossypium hirsutum (Upland cotton) was dissected using 21 …

Fiber quality, as an important target trait in cotton breeding programs, is easily affected by
the environment, and thus results in great complexity in breeding selection. In this study, we …

Abstract Gossypium raimondii (2n= 2x= 26, D 5), an untapped wild species, is the putative
progenitor of the D-subgenome of G. hirsutum (2n= 4x= 52, AD 1), an extensively cultivated …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the most important fiber crop, and its lint-yield
improvement is impeded due to its narrow genetic base and the lack of understanding of the …

Early-maturity varieties of upland cotton are becoming increasingly important for farmers to
improve their economic benefits through double cropping practices and mechanical …

To facilitate marker assisted selection, there is an urgent need to construct a saturated
genetic map of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Four types of markers including SSR …
