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

Modern genotyping techniques, such as SNP analysis and genotyping by sequencing
(GBS), are hampered by poor DNA quality and purity, particularly in challenging plant …

The flowers of major cereals are arranged on reproductive branches known as spikelets,
which group together to form an inflorescence. Diversity for inflorescence architecture has …

Cotton is an important industrial crop worldwide and upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
is most widely cultivated in the world. Due to ever-increasing water deficit, drought stress …

Key message Thirty significant associations between 22 SNPs and five plant architecture
component traits in Chinese upland cotton were identified via GWAS. Four peak SNP loci …

Fiber quality and yield improvement are crucial for cotton domestication and breeding. With
the transformation in spinning techniques and multiplicity needs, the development of cotton …

Sumoylation is one of the post translational modifications, which affects cellular processes in
plants through conjugation of small ubiquitin like modifier (SUMO) to target substrate …

Early-maturity varieties of upland cotton are becoming increasingly important for farmers to
improve their economic benefits through double cropping practices and mechanical …

The quality of fiber is significant in the upland cotton industry. As complex quantitative traits,
fiber quality traits are worth studying at a genetic level. To investigate the genetic …

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase) mainly produces oxaloacetic acid for
tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Here we reported that GhPEPC2 silencing with PEPC2-RNAi …
