Background Improving the yield and fiber quality of upland cotton is a goal of plant breeders.
However, increasing the yield and quality of cotton fibers is becoming more urgent. While …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fibers are single-celled elongated trichomes,
the molecular aspects of genetic variation in fiber length (FL) among genotypes are currently …

Large-scale genomic surveys of crop germplasm are important for understanding the
genetic architecture of favorable traits. The genomic basis of geographic differentiation and …

We have constructed a cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) BAC library using the elite Acala-type
cultivar Maxxa. The BAC library contains 129 024 clones comprising 8.3 haploid genome …

Cotton is not only the world's most important natural fiber crop, but it is also an ideal system
in which to study genome evolution, polyploidization, and cell elongation. With the assembly …

As the longest known single-celled trichomes, cotton (Gossypium L.) fibers constitute a
classic model system to investigate cell initiation and elongation. In this study, we used a …

Allopolyploidy is an important process during plant evolution that results in the reunion of
two divergent genomes into a common nucleus. Many of the immediate as well as longer …

We employed phylogenomic methods to study molecular evolutionary processes and
phylogeny in the geographically widely dispersed New World diploid cottons (Gossypium …

Key message Significant associations between candidate genes and six major cotton fiber
quality traits were identified in a MAGIC population using GWAS and whole genome …

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the key renewable fibre crop worldwide, yet its yield and
fibre quality show high variability due to genotype-specific traits and complex interactions …
