Key message A total of 62 SNPs associated with yield-related traits were identified by a
GWAS. Based on significant SNPs, two candidate genes pleiotropically increase lint yield …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a major fiber crop that is cultivated worldwide and
has significant economic importance. India harbors the largest area for cotton cultivation, but …

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 …

Background Numerous quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes associated with
yield-related traits have been identified in cotton by genome-wide association study (GWAS) …

Genetic improvement of fibre quality is one of the main breeding goals for the upland cotton,
Gossypium hirsutum, but there are difficulties with precise selection of traits. Therefore, it is …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an important economic crop for renewable textile
fibers. However, the simultaneous improvement of yield and fiber quality in cotton is difficult …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the most important fiber crop, and its lint-yield
improvement is impeded due to its narrow genetic base and the lack of understanding of the …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the most important natural fiber crop in the world.
The overall genetic diversity among cultivated species of cotton and the genetic changes …

Key message A high-density linkage map of an intraspecific RIL population was constructed
using 6187 bins to identify QTLs for fibre quality-and yield-related traits in upland cotton by …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the world's largest source of natural fibre and
dominates the global textile industry. Hybrid cotton varieties exhibit strong heterosis that …
