Structural variations (SVs) have long been described as being involved in the origin,
adaption, and domestication of species. However, the underlying genetic and genomic …

Background SNPs are the most abundant polymorphism type, and have been explored in
many crop genomic studies, including rice and maize. SNP discovery in allotetraploid cotton …

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 …

The two cultivated allopolyploid cottons, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense,
represent a remarkable example of parallel independent domestication, both involving …

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 …

Background Cotton is the world's most important natural textile fiber and a significant oilseed
crop. Decoding cotton genomes will provide the ultimate reference and resource for …

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 …

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

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

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 …
