Background Tetraploid cotton contains two sets of homologous chromosomes, the At-and Dt-
subgenomes. Consequently, many markers in cotton were mapped to multiple positions …

Although upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutism L.) originated in the tropics, this early maturity
cotton can be planted as far north as 46° N in China due to the accumulation of numerous …

The mapping of functional genes plays an important role in studies of genome structure,
function, and evolution, as well as allowing gene cloning and marker-assisted selection to …

Cotton seed trichomes are the most important source of natural fibers globally. The major
fiber thickness properties influence the price of the raw material, and the quality of the …

A comparative proteomic analysis was performed to explore the mechanism of cell
elongation in developing cotton fibers. The temporal changes of global proteomes at five …

Upland cotton is an important global cash crop for its long seed fibers and high edible oil
and protein content. Progress in cotton genomics promotes the advancement of cotton …

Both ancient and recent polyploidy, together with post-polyploidization loss of many
duplicated gene copies, complicates angiosperm comparative genomics. To explore an …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is one of the most important economic crops in the world and also
a major source of natural fiber, oil, and protein. The morphology of cotton species varies …

Allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium) species represents a model system for the study of plant
polyploidy, molecular evolution, and domestication. Here, chromosome-scale genome …

Key message A core marker set containing markers developed to be informative within a
single commercial cotton species can elucidate diversity structure within a multi-species …
