Cotton is not only the world's most important natural fiber crop, but it is also an ideal system
in which to study genome evolution, polyploidization, and cell elongation. With the assembly …

Cotton is an irreplaceable economic crop currently domesticated in the human world for its
extremely elongated fiber cells specialized in seed epidermis, which makes it of high …

Upon assembling the first Gossypium herbaceum (A1) genome and substantially improving
the existing Gossypium arboreum (A2) and Gossypium hirsutum ((AD) 1) genomes, we …

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

Drought stress restricts plant growth and development by altering metabolic activity and
biological functions. However, plants have evolved several cellular and molecular …

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 …

Upland cotton is the most important natural-fiber crop. The genomic variation of diverse
germplasms and alleles underpinning fiber quality and yield should be extensively explored …

Gossypium hirsutum has proven difficult to sequence owing to its complex allotetraploid
(AtDt) genome. Here we produce a draft genome using 181-fold paired-end sequences …

The complex allotetraploid nature of the cotton genome (AADD; 2 n= 52) makes genetic,
genomic and functional analyses extremely challenging. Here we sequenced and …

The growth and yield of many crops, including cotton, are affected by water deficit. Cotton
has evolved drought specific as well as general morpho‐physiological, biochemical and …
