Background Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is one of the world's most economically-
important crops. However, its entire genome has not been sequenced, and limited resources …

Background Leaf senescence is an important developmental programmed degeneration
process that dramatically affects crop quality and yield. The regulation of senescence is …

Background Cotton fiber is the world's leading natural fiber used in the manufacture of
textiles. Gossypium is also the model plant in the study of polyploidization, evolution, cell …

Senescence in plants is a complex trait, which is controlled by both genetic and
environmental factors and can affect the yield and quality of cotton. However, the genetic …

Leaf senescence varies greatly among genotypes of cotton (Gossypium hirsutium L),
possibly due to the different expression of senescence-related genes. To determine genes …

We assembled a total of 297,239 Gossypium hirsutum (Gh, a tetraploid cotton, AADD)
expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences that were available in the National Center for …

Leaf senescence is associated with changes in proteomics. In this study, to quantitatively
analyze changes in protein abundance related to leaf senescence in cotton (Gossypium …

Varietal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the differences within one of the two
subgenomes between different tetraploid cotton varieties and have not been practically used …

The sequence information has been proved to be an essential genomic resource in case of
crop plants for their genetic improvement and better utilization by humans. To dissect the G …

Senescence is the last stage of plant development and is controlled by both internal and
external factors. Premature senescence significantly affects the yield and quality of cotton …
