Flowering is a major developmental transition in plants, but asynchronous flowering hinders
the utilization of wild cotton relatives in breeding programs. We performed comparative …

The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is very important for early maturity in
cotton. However, the genetic control of this highly dynamic and complex developmental …

Flowering time (FTi) is a major factor determining how quickly cotton plants reach maturity.
Early maturity greatly affects lint yield and fiber quality and is crucial for mechanical …

Flowering time is an important improvement target in cotton breeding. The photoperiod is
one of the significant factors affecting flowering in plant. Here, we conducted an exploration …

Flowering time control is critically important to all sexually reproducing angiosperms in both
natural ecological and agronomic settings. Accordingly, there is much interest in defining the …

Cotton's fundamental requirements for long periods of growth and specific seasonal
temperatures limit the global arable areas that can be utilized to cultivate cotton. This …

The high-quality reference-grade genome for Gossupium tomentosum can greatly promote
the progress in biological research and introgression breeding for the mainly cultivated …

Gossypium hirsutum is most broadly cultivated in the world due to its broader adaptation to
the environment and successful breeding of early maturity varieties. However, how cotton …

The polyploid genome of cotton has significantly increased the transcript complexity. Recent
advances in full-length transcript sequencing are now widely used to characterize the …

Background Polyploidy is a pervasive evolutionary feature of all flowering plants and some
animals, leading to genetic and epigenetic changes that affect gene expression and …
