Interspecific breeding in cotton takes advantage of genetic recombination among desirable
genes from different parental lines. However, the expression new alleles (ENAs) from …

Background Gossypium hirsutum L., or upland cotton, is an important renewable resource
for textile fiber. To enhance understanding of the genetic basis of cotton earliness, we …

For efficient spinning and superior fabric production, long fiber length is a desired trait for
cotton production. To unveil the molecular basis of the cotton fiber length regulation, a short …

Background Cotton fibers provide a powerful model for studying cell differentiation and
elongation. Each cotton fiber is a singular and elongated cell derived from epidermal-layer …

In this work we describe a chemically-induced short fiber mutant cotton line, Ligon-lintless-y
(li y), which is controlled by a single recessive locus and affects multiple traits, including …

Cotton breeding for the development of early-maturing varieties is an effective way to
improve multiple cropping indexes and alleviate the conflict between grains and cotton in …

Plant architecture traits influence crop yield. An understanding of the genetic basis of cotton
plant architecture traits is beneficial for identifying favorable alleles and functional genes …

Cotton is the most important source of natural fiber in the world as well as a key source of
edible oil. The plant architecture and flowering time in cotton are crucial factors affecting …

Polyploidization can lead to the emergence of new species. Allotetraploid cotton arose
through hybridization and whole genome duplication of its diploid A and D genome …

Cotton is a global source of natural fiber and edible oil. Plant architecture and flowering time
are key factors in determining the cotton yield and efficiency of mechanical harvesting. The …
