Polyploidy provides an opportunity for evolutionary innovation and species diversification,
especially under stressful conditions. In allopolyploids, the conditional dynamics of …

The development of salt‐tolerant genotypes is pivotal for the effective utilization of salinized
land and to increase global crop productivity. Several cotton species comprise the most …

The changing climate is intensifying salt stress globally. Salt stress is a menace to cotton
crop quality and yield. The seedling, germination, and emergence phases are more prone to …

Background Polyploidy has played a prominent role in shaping the genomic architecture of
the angiosperms. Through allopolyploidization, several modern Gossypium (cotton) species …

A detailed restriction fragment length polymorphism map was used to determine the
chromosomal locations and subgenomic distributions of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) …

Background Allopolyploid speciation requires rapid evolutionary reconciliation of two
diverged genomes and gene regulatory networks. Here we describe global patterns of gene …

Polyploidy is an evolutionary innovation for many animals and all flowering plants, but its
impact on selection and domestication remains elusive. Here we analyze genome evolution …

The cotton genus (Gossypium) provides a superior system for the study of diversification,
genome evolution, polyploidization, and human-mediated selection. To gain insight into …

Background Genes duplicated by polyploidy (homoeologs) may be differentially expressed
in plant tissues. Recent research using DNA microarrays and RNAseq data have described …

Polyploidy plays a major role in genome evolution, which corresponds to environmental
changes over millions of years. The mechanisms of genome evolution, particularly during …
