Background Cotton germplasm resources contain beneficial alleles that can be exploited to
develop germplasm adapted to emerging environmental and climate conditions. Accessions …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important natural textile fiber crop, and Gossypium
hirsutum L. is responsible for 90% of the annual cotton crop in the world. Information on …

High-throughput genotyping arrays provide a standardized resource for plant breeding
communities that are useful for a breadth of applications including high-density genetic …

Commercial varieties of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) have undergone extensive
breeding for agronomic traits, such as fiber quality, disease resistance, and yield. Cotton …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the largest producer of natural fibers for
textile and is an important crop worldwide. Crop production is comprised primarily of G …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) has a narrow germplasm base, which constrains
marker development and hampers intraspecific breeding. A pressing need exists for high …

Background High-throughput genotyping platforms play important roles in plant genomic
studies. Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the world's important natural textile fiber and oil crop …

Improvement of cotton fibre yield and quality is challenging due to the narrow genetic base
of modern cotton cultivars, which emphasizes the great need to effectively explore the …

Gossypium hirsutum L. represents the largest source of textile fibre, and China is one of the
largest cotton‐producing and cotton‐consuming countries in the world. To investigate the …

Background Cultivated cotton is an annual fiber crop derived mainly from two perennial
species, Gossypium hirsutum L. or upland cotton, and G. barbadense L., extra long-staple …
