Background The most widely cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L., AD-genome) is
derived from tetraploidization between A-and D-genome species. G. arboreum L.(A …

Background Tetraploid cotton contains two sets of homologous chromosomes, the At-and Dt-
subgenomes. Consequently, many markers in cotton were mapped to multiple positions …

The ancestors of Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium herbaceum provided the A
subgenome for the modern cultivated allotetraploid cotton. Here, we upgraded the G …

Background Cotton has been cultivated and used to make fabrics for at least 7000 years.
Two allotetraploid species of great commercial importance, Gossypium hirsutum and …

Background Modern allotetraploid cotton contains an “A” and “D” genome from an ancestral
polyploidy event that occurred approximately 1–2 million years ago. Diploid A-and D …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is one of the most important economic crops in the world and also
a major source of natural fiber, oil, and protein. The morphology of cotton species varies …

Upland cotton is a model for polyploid crop domestication and transgenic improvement.
Here we sequenced the allotetraploid Gossypium hirsutum L. acc. TM-1 genome by …

Understanding the composition, evolution, and function of the Gossypium hirsutum (cotton)
genome is complicated by the joint presence of two genomes in its nucleus (AT and DT …

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 …

Gossypium herbaceum is a species of cotton native to Africa and Asia that is one of the 2
domesticated diploids. Together with its sister-species G. arboreum, these A-genome taxa …
