As high-strength cotton fibers are critical components of high quality cotton, developing
cotton cultivars with high-strength fibers as well as high yield is a top priority for cotton …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fibers are single-celled elongated trichomes,
the molecular aspects of genetic variation in fiber length (FL) among genotypes are currently …

Cotton fibres, the single‐celled trichomes derived from the ovule epidermis, provide the most
important natural material for the global textile industry. A number of studies have …

Calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) interact with CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) to
form complex molecular modules in response to diverse abiotic stresses. Although previous …

Background Plants often face multiple stresses including drought, extreme temperature,
salinity, nutrition deficiency and biotic stresses during growth and development. All the …

Fiber length is a key determinant of cotton yield and quality. Using a monogenic dominant
cotton mutant Ligon lintless-1 with extremely short fibers, we employed microarray …

Cotton, a natural fiber producing crop of huge importance, is often prone to attack of
Verticillium dahliae. Papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCPs) constitute a large family in …

Verticillium dahliae Kleb. is a necrotrophic plant pathogen that causes serious soil‐borne
vascular disease in cotton. The molecular basis of cotton response to this pathogen is poorly …

Two immortalized backcross populations (DHBCF1s and JMBCF1s) were developed using
a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population crossed with the two parents DH962 and Jimian5 …

Cotton has been domesticated independently four times for its fiber, but the genomic targets
of selection during each domestication event are mostly unknown. Comparative analysis of …
