Global food demand is expected to nearly double by 2050 due to an increase in the world's
population. The Green Revolution has played a key role in the past century by increasing …

Salinity stress is one of the primary threats to agricultural crops resulting in impaired crop
growth and development. Although cotton is considered as reasonably salt tolerant, it is …

The diploid wild cotton species Gossypium australe possesses excellent traits including
resistance to disease and delayed gland morphogenesis, and has been successfully used …

Abstract Background Gossypium australe F. Mueller (2 n= 2 x= 26, G 2 genome) possesses
valuable characteristics. For example, the delayed gland morphogenesis trait causes …

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

Glandless cotton (devoid of toxic gossypol) can be grown as a triple-purpose crop for fiber,
feeds, and food (as an oil and protein source). However, its sensitivity to insect pests and its …

Larger emissions of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and climatic variability are the
primary constraints responsible for biotic and abiotic stresses. Whilst, in cotton germplasm …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important natural fiber source in the world. The genetic
potential of cotton can be successfully and efficiently exploited by identifying and solving the …

Wild species of Gossypium ssp. are an important source of traits for improving commercial
cotton cultivars. Previous reports show that Gossypium herbaceum L. and Gossypium …

Global plant breeding activities are reliant on the available genetic variation held in extant
varieties and germplasm collections. Throughout the mid-to late 1900s, germplasm …
