Cotton (Gossypium) fiber is the most prevalent natural product used in the textile industry.
The two major cultivated species, G. hirsutum (Gh) and G. barbadense (Gb), are …

The single-celled cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fiber provides an excellent model to
investigate how human selection affects phenotypic evolution. To gain insight into the …

Background The morphogenesis of single-celled cotton fiber includes extreme elongation
and staged cell wall differentiation. Designing strategies for improving cotton fiber for textiles …

Background Cotton fiber, a highly elongated, thickened single cell of the seed epidermis, is
a powerful cell wall research model. Fiber length, largely determined during the elongation …

Background Improving the yield and fiber quality of upland cotton is a goal of plant breeders.
However, increasing the yield and quality of cotton fibers is becoming more urgent. While …

Gossypium barbadense is widely cultivated because of its extra‐long staple cotton with
superior luster, silkiness and high yield. These economically important traits were selected …

Cotton is an important natural fiber crop and economic crop worldwide. The quality of cotton
fiber directly determines the quality of cotton textiles. Identifying cotton fiber development …

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the key renewable fibre crop worldwide, yet its yield and
fibre quality show high variability due to genotype-specific traits and complex interactions …

Background Understanding the evolutionary genetics of modern crop phenotypes has a
dual relevance to evolutionary biology and crop improvement. Modern upland cotton …

As two cultivated widely allotetraploid cotton species, although Gossypium hirsutum and
Gossypium barbadense evolved from the same ancestor, they differ in fiber quality; the …
