Cotton has a very narrow gene pool resulting from its evolutionary history, domestication,
and modern crop improvement practices. As a nonfood crop subject to many pests and …

We have constructed a molecular map in cotton and have identified locations of QTLs for the
fiber quality properties, by use of F2 progeny from an interspecific cross between two …

Genome research promises to promote continued and enhanced plant genetic
improvement. As a world′ s leading crop and a model system for studies of many biological …

Since 6000 BC, cotton has been cultivated for lint fiber, which now dominates the natural
