Cotton is the world's most important natural textile fiber and a significantly growing source of
food stuff, oil and feeds. Among the 53 Gossypium species, only 4 are cultivated, with G …

It was only in 1924 that the number of chromosomes in certain species of the genus
Gossypium was determined by Denham yet, in the intervening period, an amount of …

Cotton was one of the first crops to which the rediscovered mendelian principles of genetics
were applied. The complexity of the genetics of an allotetraploid and the uniqueness of the …

Molecular evolutionary rate variation in Gossypium (cotton) was characterized using
sequence data for 48 nuclear genes from both genomes of allotetraploid cotton, models of …

Upland cotton is an important global cash crop for its long seed fibers and high edible oil
and protein content. Progress in cotton genomics promotes the advancement of cotton …

We employ a detailed restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) map to investigate
chromosome organization and evolution in cotton, a disomic polyploid. About 46.2% of …

Polyploidy often confers emergent properties, such as the higher fibre productivity and
quality of tetraploid cottons than diploid cottons bred for the same environments. Here we …

Genetic linkage maps play fundamental roles in understanding genome structure,
explaining genome formation events during evolution, and discovering the genetic bases of …

Domesticated cotton species provide raw material for the majority of the world's textile
industry. Two independent domestication events have been identified in allopolyploid …

Understanding the composition, evolution, and function of the Gossypium hirsutum (cotton)
genome is complicated by the joint presence of two genomes in its nucleus (AT and DT …
