Background The study of quantitative trait loci (QTL) in cotton (Gossypium spp.) is focused
on traits of agricultural significance. Previous studies have identified a plethora of QTL …

Key message Based on 1075 and 1059 QTL from intraspecific Upland and interspecific
Upland× Pima populations, respectively, the identification of QTL clusters and hotspots …

The narrow genetic base of cultivated cotton germplasm is hindering the cotton productivity
worldwide. Although potential genetic diversity exists in Gossypium genus, it is largely …

QTL mapping experiments yield heterogeneous results due to the use of different
genotypes, environments, and sampling variation. Compilation of QTL mapping results …

Identification of stable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) across different environments and
mapping populations is a prerequisite for marker-assisted selection (MAS) for cotton yield …

The improvement of cotton fiber quality has become more important because of changes in
spinning technology. Stable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for fiber quality will enable …

Gene expression during the early stages of fiber cell development and in allopolyploid crops
is poorly understood. Here we report computational and expression analyses of 32 789 high …
