Fiber quality traits, especially fiber strength, length, and micronaire (FS, FL, and FM), have
been recognized as critical fiber attributes in the textile industry, while the lint percentage …

Cotton is a leading natural fiber crop in the textile industry worldwide. The improvement of
cotton fiber quality has become more important because of changes in spinning technology …

The breeding of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars that combine high yield
and fiber quality is a major challenge to the breeder. The understanding of the quantitative …

Cotton genetic resources contain diverse economically important traits that can be used
widely in breeding approaches to create of high-yielding elite cultivars with superior fiber …

Fiber quality is a major breeding goal in cotton, but phenotypically direct selection is often
hindered. In this study, we identified fiber quality and yield related loci using GWAS based …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an important economic crop for renewable textile
fibers. However, the simultaneous improvement of yield and fiber quality in cotton is difficult …

Gene introgression from wild species has been shown to be a feasible approach for fiber
quality improvement in Upland cotton. Previously, we developed an interspecific G …

Improving fiber quality and yield are major research objectives for cotton breeders in the
United States. Identifying broadly existing and stable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to …

Background Improving cotton fiber length without reducing yield is one of the major goals of
cotton breeding. However, genetic improvement of cotton fiber length by breeding has been …

Fiber quality is an important economic index and a major breeding goal in cotton, but direct
phenotypic selection is often hindered due to environmental influences and linkage with …
