Cotton genetic resources contain diverse economically important traits that can be used
widely in breeding approaches to create of high-yielding elite cultivars with superior fiber …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important natural fiber crop worldwide. The diversity of
Gossypium species also provides an ideal model for investigating evolution and …

High-throughput genotyping arrays provide a standardized resource for plant breeding
communities that are useful for a breadth of applications including high-density genetic …

Crop wild relatives are an important reservoir of natural biodiversity. However, incorporating
wild genetic diversity into breeding programs is often hampered by reproductive barriers and …

Cotton is widely cultivated globally because it provides natural fibre for the textile industry
and human use. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTL s)/genes associated with fibre quality …

Background The identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that are stable and consistent
across multiple environments and populations plays an essential role in marker-assisted …

Key message A high-density linkage map of an intraspecific RIL population was constructed
using 6187 bins to identify QTLs for fibre quality-and yield-related traits in upland cotton by …

A population of 178 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was developed using a single seed
descendant from a cross between G. hirsutum. acc DH962 and G. hirsutum. cv Jimian5, was …

Background Improving fiber quality and yield are the primary research objectives in cotton
breeding for enhancing the economic viability and sustainability of Upland cotton …

Cotton fiber quality traits are controlled by multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL), and the
improvement of these traits requires extensive germplasm. Herein, an Upland cotton cultivar …
