Background Tetraploid cotton contains two sets of homologous chromosomes, the At-and Dt-
subgenomes. Consequently, many markers in cotton were mapped to multiple positions …

Background Cotton is the world's most important natural textile fiber and a significant oilseed
crop. Decoding cotton genomes will provide the ultimate reference and resource for …

Background The most widely cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L., AD-genome) is
derived from tetraploidization between A-and D-genome species. G. arboreum L.(A …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L., 2n= 52, AADD) is an allotetraploid, therefore the
discovery of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers is difficult. The recent …

A narrow germplasm base and a complex allotetraploid genome have made the discovery of
single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers difficult in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). To …

In the past decade, several molecular maps of cotton have been constructed using diverse
DNA molecular markers and mapping populations. In this study, an interspecific linkage map …

Background SNPs are the most abundant polymorphism type, and have been explored in
many crop genomic studies, including rice and maize. SNP discovery in allotetraploid cotton …

Background Dissecting genome organization is indispensable for further functional and
applied studies. As genome sequences data shown, cotton genomes contain more than …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.), as the world's most utilized textile fibre
source, is an important, economically valuable crop worldwide. Understanding the genomic …

A bacterial artificial chromosome library and BAC-end sequences for cultivated cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum L.) have recently been developed. This report presents genome-wide …
