Genetic improvement in fiber quality is one of the main challenges for cotton breeders. Fiber
quality traits are controlled by multiple genes and are classified as complex quantitative …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an important natural fiber plant. Lint percentage (LP) is one of
the most important determinants of cotton yield and is a typical quantitative trait with high …

Summary Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) is the source of the world's finest fibre
quality cotton, yet relatively little is understood about genetic variations among diverse …

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 …

Background Cotton is more resistant to salt and drought stresses as compared to other field
crops, which makes itself as a pioneer industrial crop in saline-alkali lands. However, abiotic …

Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) is an oriental perennial woody fruit tree whose popular fruit is
produced and consumed worldwide. The persimmon fruit is unique because of the …

Key message Genetic variation in a G. barbadense population was revealed using
resquencing. GWAS on G. barbadense population identified several candidate genes …

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

Gossypium barbadense possesses a superior fiber quality because of its fiber length and
strength. An in-depth analysis of the underlying genetic mechanism could aid in filling the …

Cotton is the most important fiber crop and provides indispensable natural fibers for the
textile industry. Micronaire (MIC) is determined by fiber fineness and maturity and is an …
