Abstract Key message Thirty-four SNPs corresponding with 22 QTLs for lint percentage,
including 13 novel QTLs, was detected via GWAS. Two candidate genes underlying this trait …

Background The node of the first fruiting branch (NFFB) is an important precocious trait in
cotton. Many studies have been conducted on the localization of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) …

Background Stripe rust, caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst),
is a serious foliar disease of wheat. Identification of novel stripe rust resistance genes and …

Early maturity is an important target of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) breeding programs.
The selection and popularization of early-maturing cotton cultivars have significantly …

Stripe rust (Yr), caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a
devastating foliar disease of wheat in China. Chinese wheat landraces originating from the …

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a severe disease in wheat worldwide,
including Ethiopia, causing up to 100% wheat yield loss in the worst season. The use of …

Early maturity is among the most important and complex agronomic traits of upland cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum). Using the recently established 3VmrMLM method, a genome-wide …

Flowering time (FTi) is a major factor determining how quickly cotton plants reach maturity.
Early maturity greatly affects lint yield and fiber quality and is crucial for mechanical …

With the increasing demands for crop yield and production mechanization, improvement of
plant architecture is getting more imperative in cotton. In the present study, we investigated …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the most important plant producing natural fibers for
the textile industry. In this study, we first investigated the phenotypic variation of seven …
