Qualitatively inherited traits and mutants have provided the first markers used to map the
cotton genome (Gossypium L.), and they have contributed significantly to cotton …

The evolution and domestication of cotton is of great interest from both economic and
evolutionary standpoints. Although many genetic and genomic resources have been …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) has a narrow germplasm base, which constrains
marker development and hampers intraspecific breeding. A pressing need exists for high …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the leading natural fiber crop in the world. The genus Gossypium
comprises a broad genetic base that has been and continues to be actively studied by cotton …

Abstract Background Gossypium barbadense L. Pima cotton is known for its resistance to
Fusarium wilt and for producing fibers of superior quality highly prized in the textile market …

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 …

Background Cotton is the world's most important natural textile fiber and a significant oilseed
crop. Decoding cotton genomes will provide the ultimate reference and resource for …

Genetic diversity for traits such as fibre quality or disease resistance to microorganisms is
limited in the elite cotton germplasm; consequently, cotton breeders are looking for novel …

Cotton production faces challenges in fluctuating environmental conditions due to limited
genetic variation in cultivated cotton species. To enhance the genetic diversity crucial for this …

Larger emissions of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and climatic variability are the
primary constraints responsible for biotic and abiotic stresses. Whilst, in cotton germplasm …
