Association mapping is a promising tool to identify genes for quantitative traits. A total of 172
upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) accessions were assessed. The panel was …

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 …

Association mapping based on linkage disequilibrium is an effective approach for dissecting
the inheritance of complex multi-gene traits. In the present study, association mapping was …

Association mapping based on linkage disequilibrium (LD) is a promising tool to identify
genes responsible for quantitative variations underlying complex traits. The present paper …

Association mapping has revolutionized human genetics and is increasingly used in plant
genetics. It is an efficient way of determining the genetic basis of complex traits. In cotton so …

Background Early maturity is one of the most important and complex agronomic traits in
upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L). To dissect the genetic architecture of this …

Genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) efficiently identify genetic loci controlling traits
at a relatively high resolution. In this study, variations in major early‐maturation traits …

The breeding of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars that combine high yield
and fiber quality is a major challenge to the breeder. The understanding of the quantitative …

Early maturity is an important target of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) breeding programs.
The selection and popularization of early-maturing cotton cultivars have significantly …

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