Comparative transcriptome analysis of fiber tissues between Gossypium barbadense and
Gossypium hirsutum could reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying high-quality fiber …

Gossypium barbadense possesses a superior fiber quality because of its fiber length and
strength. An in-depth analysis of the underlying genetic mechanism could aid in filling the …

Background Improving the yield and fiber quality of upland cotton is a goal of plant breeders.
However, increasing the yield and quality of cotton fibers is becoming more urgent. While …

Fiber quality is an important economic index and a major breeding goal in cotton, but direct
phenotypic selection is often hindered due to environmental influences and linkage with …

With increasing demand for high-quality cotton, it is desirable to identify genes involved in
fiber development for molecular improvement of cotton. In this study, 780 differentially …

Fiber length (FL) is an important fiber quality trait in cotton. Although many fiber quality
quantitative trait loci (QTL) responsible for FL have been identified, most cannot be applied …

Genetic improvement of fibre quality is one of the main breeding goals for the upland cotton,
Gossypium hirsutum, but there are difficulties with precise selection of traits. Therefore, it is …

Background Fiber quality is an important economic trait of cotton, and its improvement is a
major goal of cotton breeding. To better understand the genetic mechanisms responsible for …

Background Cotton fiber, a highly elongated, thickened single cell of the seed epidermis, is
a powerful cell wall research model. Fiber length, largely determined during the elongation …

As two cultivated widely allotetraploid cotton species, although Gossypium hirsutum and
Gossypium barbadense evolved from the same ancestor, they differ in fiber quality; the …
