Cotton is white gold across the globe and composed of fiber cells derived from the outer
integument of cotton ovules. Fiber elongation uses sucrose as a direct carbon source. The …

Complexes of diploid and polyploid species have formed frequently during the evolution of
land plants. In false flax (Camelina sativa), an important hexaploid oilseed crop closely …

Catalases (CATs), which were coded by the catalase gene family, were a type notably

Improving genetic resistance is a preferred method to manage Verticillium wilt of cotton and
other hosts. Identifying host resistance is difficult because of the dearth of resistance genes …

Key message Significant associations between candidate genes and six major cotton fiber
quality traits were identified in a MAGIC population using GWAS and whole genome …

As the largest cultivated fiber crop in the world, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is often
exposed to various biotic stresses during its growth periods. Verticillium wilt caused by …
