Genetic improvement of fibre quality is one of the main breeding goals for the upland cotton,
Gossypium hirsutum, but there are difficulties with precise selection of traits. Therefore, it is …

The superior fiber properties of Gossypium barbadense L. serve as a source of novel
variation for improving fiber quality in Upland cotton (G. hirsutum L.), but introgression from …

Background Fiber quality is an important economic trait of cotton, and its improvement is a
major goal of cotton breeding. To better understand the genetic mechanisms responsible for …

Cotton is widely cultivated globally because it provides natural fibre for the textile industry
and human use. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTL s)/genes associated with fibre quality …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is grown for its elite fiber. Understanding differential
gene expression patterns during fiber development will help to identify genes associated …

Key message Significant associations between candidate genes and six major cotton fiber
quality traits were identified in a MAGIC population using GWAS and whole genome …

Background Improving cotton fiber length without reducing yield is one of the major goals of
cotton breeding. However, genetic improvement of cotton fiber length by breeding has been …

Gossypium hirsutum is a high yield cotton species that exhibits only moderate performance
in fiber qualities. A promising but challenging approach to improving its phenotypes is …

Key message A high-density linkage map of an intraspecific RIL population was constructed
using 6187 bins to identify QTLs for fibre quality-and yield-related traits in upland cotton by …

Exploring the elite alleles and germplasm accessions related to fiber quality traits will
accelerate the breeding of cotton for fiber quality improvement. In this study, 99 Gossypium …
