The two cultivated allopolyploid cottons, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense,
represent a remarkable example of parallel independent domestication, both involving …

Reliable information about the evolutionary and genetic relationships of various germplasm
resources is essential to the establishment of rational strategies for crop improvement. We …

Gossypium tomentosum is the only member of the cotton genus endemic to the Hawaiian
archipelago. It is morphologically distinct from other allopolyploid Gossypium species, and …

Pima cotton (G ossypium barbadense) is widely cultivated because of its long, strong seed
trichomes ('fibers') used for premium textiles. These agronomically advanced fibers were …

Transposable elements (TEs) are drivers of evolution resulting in episodic surges of genetic
innovation and genomic reorganization (Oliver KR, Greene WK. 2009. TEs: powerful …

Both ancient and recent polyploidy, together with post-polyploidization loss of many
duplicated gene copies, complicates angiosperm comparative genomics. To explore an …

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 …

Of the two cultivated species of allopolyploid cotton, Gossypium barbadense produces extra-
long fibers for the production of superior textiles. We sequenced its genome (AD) 2 and …

The existence of five tetraploid species that derive from a common polyploidization event
about 1 million years ago makes Gossypium (cotton) an attractive genus in which to study …

The 13 “D-genome” cotton species are a monophyletic assemblage of morphologically
diverse diploids that inhabit arid to semiarid regions in Mexico, with 1 disjunct species each …
