Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a major fiber crop that is cultivated worldwide and
has significant economic importance. India harbors the largest area for cotton cultivation, but …

Key message A Bayesian linkage disequilibrium-based multiple-locus mixed model
identified QTLs for fibre, seed and oil traits and predicted breeding worthiness of test lines …

Cotton is a major source of natural fibre for the global textile industry and is also an
important oilseed crop. Cotton fibre is the main source of textiles, the seeds are used for oil …

Enhancing both fiber yield and quality is crucial in cotton breeding programs. Typically, a
negative correlation exists between fiber yield and quality, and the strategy to decouple this …

Numerous genetic loci and several functionally characterized genes have been linked to
determination of lint percentage (lint%), one of the most important cotton yield components …

G. barbadense is renowned for its high-quality fiber and is highly regarded as a natural
material in the textile industry. However, research on cotton has mainly focused on G …

Genomic variation includes inter-and intraspecific variation. The former is the genetic
footprint of species speciation and domestication. The latter is the within-species variation …
