In the last decade, cotton genomics had great progress in genome assembling (Li et al.,
2015; Huang et al., 2020) and agriculturally important locus identification (Du et al., 2018; …

Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping lays the foundation for marker-assisted selection
(MAS) for lint yield and fiber quality in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). Boll-related traits affect …

Background Evaluating phenotypic traits is very important for the selection of elite lines in
Gossypium hirsutum L. Cotton breeders are interested in using diverse genotypes in …

Key message The fiber length-related qFL-A12-5 identified in CSSLs introgressed from
Gossypium barbadense into Gossypium hirsutum was fine-mapped to an 18.8 kb region on …

Cotton fiber quality traits are controlled by multiple genes of minor effect. Identification of
significant and stable quantitative trait loci (QTL) across environments and populations lays …

The purpose of the research presented here was to explore the genetic basis of cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum L.) fiber quality traits through quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis and …

Cotton fiber quality was quantitative trait, controlled by multiple genes. Identification of stable
quantitative trait loci (QTL) effectively contributing to favorable fiber quality traits would …

Cotton is an important fiber crop worldwide. Improved fiber quality is a driving force for cotton
genetic studies and breeding. A BC 1 population containing 115 individuals from a cross …

Key message Three QTL regions controlling three fiber quality traits were validated and
further fine-mapped with 27 new single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers …
