Cotton is not only the world's most important natural fiber crop, but it is also an ideal system
in which to study genome evolution, polyploidization, and cell elongation. With the assembly …

Background Trichomes play a key role in the development of plants and exist in a wide
variety of species. Results In this paper, it was reviewed that the structure and morphology …

Cotton is an irreplaceable economic crop currently domesticated in the human world for its
extremely elongated fiber cells specialized in seed epidermis, which makes it of high …

The volatile plant hormone ethylene regulates many plant developmental processes and
stress responses. It is therefore crucial that plants can precisely control their ethylene …

Upland cotton is the most important natural-fiber crop. The genomic variation of diverse
germplasms and alleles underpinning fiber quality and yield should be extensively explored …

Cotton fibre is a unicellular seed trichome, and lint fibre initials per seed as a factor
determines fibre yield. However, the mechanisms controlling fibre initiation from ovule …

Gossypium hirsutum has proven difficult to sequence owing to its complex allotetraploid
(AtDt) genome. Here we produce a draft genome using 181-fold paired-end sequences …

Background Millennia of directional human selection has reshaped the genomic architecture
of cultivated cotton relative to wild counterparts, but we have limited understanding of the …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the most important natural fiber crop in the world.
The overall genetic diversity among cultivated species of cotton and the genetic changes …

The complex allotetraploid nature of the cotton genome (AADD; 2 n= 52) makes genetic,
genomic and functional analyses extremely challenging. Here we sequenced and …
