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 …

Background Understanding the evolutionary genetics of modern crop phenotypes has a
dual relevance to evolutionary biology and crop improvement. Modern upland cotton …

Fiber quality is a major breeding goal in cotton, but phenotypically direct selection is often
hindered. In this study, we identified fiber quality and yield related loci using GWAS based …

Determining the genetic rearrangement and domestication footprints in Gossypium hirsutum
cultivars and primitive race genotypes are essential for effective gene conservation efforts …

The genus Gossypium is a globally important crop that is used to produce textiles, oil and
protein. However, gossypol, which is found in cultivated cottonseed, is toxic to humans and …

Upland cotton is the most economically important fibre crop. The human-mediated selection
has resulted in modern upland cultivars with higher yield and better fibre quality. However …

Cotton plays a crucial role in the progress of the textile industry and the betterment of human
life by providing natural fibers. In our study, we explored the genetic determinants of cotton …

Diverse leaf morphology has been observed among accessions of Gossypium hirsutum,
including okra leaf, which has advantages and disadvantages in cotton production. The okra …

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 is the most widely planted for natural fiber around the world, and either lint
percentage (LP) or fiber length (FL) is the crucial component tremendously affecting cotton …
