The formation of allopolyploid cotton precipitated a rapid diversification and colonization of
dry coastal American tropical and subtropical regions. Previous phylogenetic analyses …

With recent global climate change, the consequences of common extreme meteorological
events have attracted increasing attention worldwide. Drought is an extreme meteorological …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an allopolyploid species containing three ancestral
genomes. Therefore, three homoeologous copies exist for the majority of genes in the wheat …

We present an overview of Gossypium genome evolution and the implications of this
understanding for targeted breeding objectives. The cotton genus (Gossypium) contains …

Cotton cultivars have evolved to produce extensive, long, seed‐born fibers important for the
textile industry, but we know little about the molecular mechanism underlying spinnable fiber …

Read mapping is a fundamental part of next-generation genomic research but is
complicated by genome duplication in many plants. Categorizing DNA sequence reads into …

Subgenome integrity in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum; BBAADD) makes possible the
extraction of its BBAA component to restitute a novel plant type. The availability of such a …

Whole-genome duplication resulting from polyploidy is ubiquitous in the evolutionary history
of plant species. Yet, polyploids must overcome the meiotic challenge of pairing …

We present an overview of the cotton genus (Gossypium) as a model for the study of
polyploidy. A synopsis of the origin and evolution of polyploid cotton is provided, offering an …

Background Heat shock transcriptional factors (Hsfs) play important roles in the processes of
biotic and abiotic stresses as well as in plant development. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum …
