Polyploidy plays a major role in genome evolution, which corresponds to environmental
changes over millions of years. The mechanisms of genome evolution, particularly during …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is one of the most important economic crops in the world and also
a major source of natural fiber, oil, and protein. The morphology of cotton species varies …

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

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 …

Background Modern allotetraploid cotton contains an “A” and “D” genome from an ancestral
polyploidy event that occurred approximately 1–2 million years ago. Diploid A-and D …

Background Cotton has been cultivated and used to make fabrics for at least 7000 years.
Two allotetraploid species of great commercial importance, Gossypium hirsutum and …

Allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium) species represents a model system for the study of plant
polyploidy, molecular evolution, and domestication. Here, chromosome-scale genome …

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

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 …

Allotetraploid cotton is an economically important natural-fiber-producing crop worldwide.
After polyploidization, Gossypium hirsutum L. evolved to produce a higher fiber yield and to …
