Large-scale genomic surveys of crop germplasm are important for understanding the
genetic architecture of favorable traits. The genomic basis of geographic differentiation and …

Here, we describe the evolution of gene expression among a diversified cohort of five
allopolyploid species in the cotton genus (Gossypium). Using this phylogenetic framework …

We report genetic maps for diploid (D) and tetraploid (AtDt) Gossypium genomes composed
of sequence-tagged sites (STS) that foster structural, functional, and evolutionary genomic …

Approximately 185,000 Gossypium EST sequences comprising> 94,800,000 nucleotides
were amassed from 30 cDNA libraries constructed from a variety of tissues and organs …

Cotton is not only the world's most important natural fiber crop, but it is also an ideal system
in which to study genome evolution, polyploidization, and cell elongation. With the assembly …

Cotton produces natural fiber for the textile industry. The genetic effects of genomic structural
variations underlying agronomic traits remain unclear. Here, we generate two high-quality …

Of the many processes that generate gene duplications, polyploidy is unique in that entire
genomes are duplicated. This process has been important in the evolution of many …

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 …

A central question in evolutionary biology concerns the developmental processes by which
new phenotypes arise. An exceptional example of evolutionary innovation is the single …

For several years allopolyploid cottons have been the subject of evolutionary investigations
into the genomic mysteries of polyploidy. An array of genomic interactions have been …
