Cotton fiber provides the predominant plant textile in the world, and it is also a model for
plant cell wall biosynthesis. The development of the single-celled cotton fiber takes place …

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

Raphanobrassica (R r R r C r C r, 2n= 4x= 36), which is generated by distant hybridization
between the maternal parent Raphanus sativus (R s R s, 2n= 2x= 18) and the paternal …

Brassica napus is an important oil crop and an allotetraploid species. However, the detailed
analysis of gene function and homoeologous gene expression in all tissues at different …

The creation of G. barbadense L./G. hirsutum L. chromosome-substitution lines is an
important method to transfer agronomically valuable traits from G. barbadense into G …

Regulation of gene expression is a critical link between genotype and phenotype explaining
substantial heritable variation within species. However, we are only beginning to understand …

Gene duplication is a key evolutionary phenomenon, prevalent in all organisms but
particularly so in plants, where whole genome duplication (WGD; polyploidy) is a major force …

Cotton, as a natural fiber crop, plays a pivotal role in advancing global textile industry.
Comparative transcriptome analyses of single-cell 'fiber'from wild and domesticated plant …

The MYB family, one of the largest transcription factor (TF) families, plays an important role
in plant growth, development, and stress response. Although genome-wide analysis of the …

Polyploidy is a prominent mechanism of plant speciation and adaptation, yet the mechanistic
understandings of duplicated gene regulation remain elusive. Chromatin structure dynamics …
