Key message A genome-wide associated study identified six novel QTLs for lint percentage.
Two candidate genes underlying this trait were also detected. Abstract Increasing lint …

Abstract Key message Thirty-four SNPs corresponding with 22 QTLs for lint percentage,
including 13 novel QTLs, was detected via GWAS. Two candidate genes underlying this trait …

Improving cotton yield is a major breeding goal for Chinese upland cotton. Lint percentage is
an important yield component and a critical economic index for cotton cultivars, and raising …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an important natural fiber plant. Lint percentage (LP) is one of
the most important determinants of cotton yield and is a typical quantitative trait with high …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the most important source of natural fiber in the
world. Early-maturity upland cotton varieties are commonly planted in China. Nevertheless …

Harvesting high quality lint, a long-awaited breeding goal—accomplished partly, can be
achieved by identifying DNA markers which could be used for diagnosing cotton plants …

Lint percentage is an important character of cotton yield components and it is also correlated
with cotton fibre development. In this study, we used a high lint percentage variety …

Background Salinity is one of the most significant environmental factors limiting the
productivity of cotton. However, the key genetic components responsible for the reduction in …

Key message A total of 62 SNPs associated with yield-related traits were identified by a
GWAS. Based on significant SNPs, two candidate genes pleiotropically increase lint yield …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) has long been an important fiber crop, but the narrow
genetic diversity of modern G. hirsutum limits the potential for simultaneous improvement of …
