Cotton is a leading natural fiber crop in the textile industry worldwide. The improvement of
cotton fiber quality has become more important because of changes in spinning technology …

Cotton fiber quality traits are controlled by multiple genes of minor effect. Identification of
significant and stable quantitative trait loci (QTL) across environments and populations lays …

Cotton fiber is widely used as the raw materials for the textile industry. With the development
in spinning technology, the improvement of cotton fiber quality is becoming more and more …

Gossypium hirsutum L. is the most important fiber crop worldwide and contributes to more
than 95% of global cotton production. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is an effective …

Cotton is a significant commercial crop that plays an indispensable role in many domains.
Constructing high-density genetic maps and identifying stable quantitative trait locus (QTL) …

Fiber quality, as an important target trait in cotton breeding programs, is easily affected by
the environment, and thus results in great complexity in breeding selection. In this study, we …

Identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for fiber quality traits that are stable across
multiple generations and environments could facilitate marker-assisted selection for …

Fiber quality and yield improvement are crucial for cotton domestication and breeding. With
the transformation in spinning techniques and multiplicity needs, the development of cotton …

To facilitate marker assisted selection, there is an urgent need to construct a saturated
genetic map of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Four types of markers including SSR …

Abstract Background Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) accounts for about 95% of
world cotton production. Improving Upland cotton cultivars has been the focus of world-wide …
