Domesticated cotton species provide raw material for the majority of the world's textile
industry. Two independent domestication events have been identified in allopolyploid …

Domestication in the cotton genus is remarkable in that it has occurred independently four
different times at two different ploidy levels. Relatively little is known about genome evolution …

Background Cotton has been cultivated and used to make fabrics for at least 7000 years.
Two allotetraploid species of great commercial importance, Gossypium hirsutum and …

Allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium) species represents a model system for the study of plant
polyploidy, molecular evolution, and domestication. Here, chromosome-scale genome …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is one of the most important economic crops in the world and also
a major source of natural fiber, oil, and protein. The morphology of cotton species varies …

Polyploid formation has played a major role in the evolution of many plant and animal
genomes; however, surprisingly little is known regarding the subsequent evolution of DNA …

Allotetraploid cotton species are a vital source of spinnable fiber for textiles. The polyploid
nature of the cotton genome raises many evolutionary questions as to the relationships …

Polyploidy plays a major role in genome evolution, which corresponds to environmental
changes over millions of years. The mechanisms of genome evolution, particularly during …

We present an overview of Gossypium genome evolution and the implications of this
understanding for targeted breeding objectives. The cotton genus (Gossypium) contains …

We employed phylogenomic methods to study molecular evolutionary processes and
phylogeny in the geographically widely dispersed New World diploid cottons (Gossypium …
