Cotton is the most important fiber crop in the world. Asiatic cotton (Gossypium arboreum,
genome A2) is a diploid cotton species producing spinnable fibers and important germplasm …

Cotton is widely cultivated globally because it provides natural fibre for the textile industry
and human use. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTL s)/genes associated with fibre quality …

Background The study of quantitative trait loci (QTL) in cotton (Gossypium spp.) is focused
on traits of agricultural significance. Previous studies have identified a plethora of QTL …

Abstract Four-way cross (4WC) involving four different inbred lines frequently appears in the
cotton breeding programs. However, linkage analysis and quantitative trait loci (QTL) …

As one of the most widely cultivated cotton species in China, upland cotton has moderate
fiber quality and wide applicability, but its genetic basis is relatively narrow. To expand …

Asiatic cotton (Gossypium arboreum L.) is an Old World cultivated cotton species. The
sinense race was planted extensively in China. Due to the advances in spinning technology …

To introgress the good fiber quality and yield from Gossypium barbadense into a commercial
Upland cotton variety, a high‐density simple sequence repeat (SSR) genetic linkage map …

Cotton fiber properties are essential predictors of yarn performance. The suite of fiber quality
traits that collectively affect the utility of the fiber for the textile industry include the length, the …

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 Based on 1075 and 1059 QTL from intraspecific Upland and interspecific
Upland× Pima populations, respectively, the identification of QTL clusters and hotspots …
