Interspecific hybridization has contributed significantly to land diversity, species evolution,
and crops' domestication, including upland cotton, the cultivated form of Gossypium …

Key message A fiber length QTL, qFL-c10-1, was fine-mapped to a 96.5-kb region
containing one gene that has not been characterized in plants. Abstract Fiber length is an …

Armillaria root rot (ARR) poses a significant threat to the long-term productivity of stone-fruit
and nut crops in the predominant production area of the United States. To mitigate this issue …

Key message Genomic and genetic resources of G. mustelinum were effective for identifying
genes for qualitative and quantitative traits. Abstract Gossypium mustelinum represents the …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growth and development during the pre-and post-
flowering stages are susceptible to high temperature and drought. We report the field-based …

Abstract Gossypium raimondii (2n= 2x= 26, D 5), an untapped wild species, is the putative
progenitor of the D-subgenome of G. hirsutum (2n= 4x= 52, AD 1), an extensively cultivated …

As one of the key enzymes in the metabolic pathway of phenylpropane, shikimate
hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (HCT) is mainly involved in the biosynthesis of the plant …

Background Interspecific postzygotic reproduction isolation results from large genetic
divergence between the subgenomes of established hybrids. Polyploidization immediately …

Verticillium wilt, caused by the fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae, is the major cause of
disease-related yield losses in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). Despite these losses, the major …

Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCo) has long been studied from
many perspectives. As a multisubunit (large subunits [LSUs] and small subunits [SSUs]) …
