Polyploidy often confers emergent properties, such as the higher fibre productivity and
quality of tetraploid cottons than diploid cottons bred for the same environments. Here we …

Allotetraploid cotton is an economically important natural-fiber-producing crop worldwide.
After polyploidization, Gossypium hirsutum L. evolved to produce a higher fiber yield and to …

Allotetraploid cotton species (Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense) have long
been cultivated worldwide for natural renewable textile fibers. The draft genome sequences …

Polyploidy is an evolutionary innovation for many animals and all flowering plants, but its
impact on selection and domestication remains elusive. Here we analyze genome evolution …

We have sequenced and assembled a draft genome of G. raimondii, whose progenitor is the
putative contributor of the D subgenome to the economically important fiber-producing …

We present an overview of the cotton genus (Gossypium) as a model for the study of
polyploidy. A synopsis of the origin and evolution of polyploid cotton is provided, offering an …

Polyploidy complicates transcriptional regulation and increases phenotypic diversity in
organisms. The dynamics of genetic regulation of gene expression between coresident …

Allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium) species represents a model system for the study of plant
polyploidy, molecular evolution, and domestication. Here, chromosome-scale genome …

Of the two cultivated species of allopolyploid cotton, Gossypium barbadense produces extra-
long fibers for the production of superior textiles. We sequenced its genome (AD) 2 and …

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