Background Dirigent (DIR) proteins mediate regioselectivity and stereoselectivity during
lignan biosynthesis and are also involved in lignin, gossypol and pterocarpan biosynthesis …

Background Due to the influence of extreme weather, the environment in China's main
cotton-producing areas is prone to drought stress conditions, which affect the growth and …

Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses seriously affecting cotton yield. At present, the
main cotton-producing areas in China are primarily arid and semiarid regions. Therefore, the …

With the increasing amount of cotton omics data, breeding scientists are confronted with the
question of how to use massive cotton data to mine effective breeding information. Here, we …

Cotton refers to species in the genus Gossypium that bear spinnable seed coat fibers. A total
of 50 species in the genus Gossypium have been described to date. Of these, only four …

Introduction Defoliation by applying defoliants before machine picking is an important
agricultural practice that enhances harvesting efficiency and leads to increased raw cotton …

Cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) domains containing proteins (CDCPs) form a large family
and play roles in development via regulation of the thioredoxin system as well as abiotic and …

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the most important fiber crop globally and there is an
incentive to improve cotton fiber yield and quality to meet the growing market demand. 1 …

Abstract Gossypium raimondii (2n= 2x= 26, D 5), an untapped wild species, is the putative
progenitor of the D-subgenome of G. hirsutum (2n= 4x= 52, AD 1), an extensively cultivated …

Key message A fiber length QTL, qFL-c10-1, was fine-mapped to a 96.5-kb region
containing one gene that has not been characterized in plants. Abstract Fiber length is an …
