Although upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutism L.) originated in the tropics, this early maturity
cotton can be planted as far north as 46° N in China due to the accumulation of numerous …

Background Early maturity is one of the most important and complex agronomic traits in
upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L). To dissect the genetic architecture of this …

Genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) efficiently identify genetic loci controlling traits
at a relatively high resolution. In this study, variations in major early‐maturation traits …

Association mapping is a promising tool to identify genes for quantitative traits. A total of 172
upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) accessions were assessed. The panel was …

Understanding the genetic diversity and population structure of germplasms is essential
when selecting parents for crop breeding. The genomic changes that occurred during the …

Background Gossypium hirsutum L., or upland cotton, is an important renewable resource
for textile fiber. To enhance understanding of the genetic basis of cotton earliness, we …

Abstract Introduction Allotetraploid upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is native to the
Mesoamerican and Caribbean regions, had been improved in the southern United States by …

Abstract The excellent Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivars developed since 1949
have made a huge contribution to cotton production in China, the world's largest producer …

Upland cotton is the most economically important fibre crop. The human-mediated selection
has resulted in modern upland cultivars with higher yield and better fibre quality. However …

The ancestors of Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium herbaceum provided the A
subgenome for the modern cultivated allotetraploid cotton. Here, we upgraded the G …
