Cotton (Gossypium) is a worldwide natural fiber crop. Fiber quality improvement lags far
behind that of fiber yield. Although interspecific hybridization contributes significantly to …

Cottonseed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) and serves as an edible oil in human
nutrition. Reports suggest that acyl-coenzyme A: diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGAT) and …

Class III peroxidase (PRX) genes play essential roles in various processes, such as auxin
catabolism, removal of H 2 O 2, crosslinking cell wall components, and response to biotic …

Detached organs or differentiated tissues could form a mass of pluripotent cells termed as
callus on an auxin-rich medium, the underlying molecular mechanism of which remains …

Genetic diversity is the raw material for germplasm enhancement. Landraces and wild
species relatives of potato, which contain a rich gene pool of valuable agronomic traits, can …

Verticillium wilt of cotton, caused by the fungal phytopathogen Verticillium dahliae (V.
dahliae), is one of the most devastating diseases of upland cotton. While Verticillium dahliae …

Salinity is a major abiotic stress at critical stages of seed germination and seedling
establishment. Germination rate (GR) and field emergence rate (FER) are the key traits that …

Upland cotton is the most widely planted for natural fiber around the world, and either lint
percentage (LP) or fiber length (FL) is the crucial component tremendously affecting cotton …

Gene copy number variation is frequent in plant genomes of various species, but the impact
of such gene dosage variation on morphological traits is poorly understood. We used a large …

The high-quality reference-grade genome for Gossupium tomentosum can greatly promote
the progress in biological research and introgression breeding for the mainly cultivated …
