Background Genetically anchored physical maps of large eukaryotic genomes have proven
useful both for their intrinsic merit and as an adjunct to genome sequencing. Cultivated …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a comprehensive review of the published
information on the cytology, genetics, and evolution of Gossypium. In addition, it presents …

Structural variations (SVs) have long been described as being involved in the origin,
adaption, and domestication of species. However, the underlying genetic and genomic …

Background Modern allotetraploid cotton contains an “A” and “D” genome from an ancestral
polyploidy event that occurred approximately 1–2 million years ago. Diploid A-and D …

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 …

The cultivated Gossypium spp.(cotton) represents the single most important, natural fiber
crop in the world. In addition to its fiber, the oil and protein portion of the cottonseed also …

Total genomic DNAs from 61 accessions of 40 species of Gossypium were surveyed for
restriction site variation in the maternally inherited plastid genome using 25 endonucleases …

Recent work has demonstrated that allopolyploid speciation in plants may be associated
with non-Mendelian genomic changes in the early generations following polyploid …

New World tetraploid cottons (Gossypium spp.) originated through hybridization of ancestral
diploid species that presently have allopatric ranges in Asia-Africa (the A genome) and the …

The challenge in tetraploid cotton cultivars is the narrow genetic base and therefore, the
bottleneck is how to obtain interspecific hybrids and introduce the germplasm directly from …
