Plant cells are surrounded by cell walls protecting them from a myriad of environmental
challenges. For successful habitat adaptation, extracellular cues are perceived at the cell …

Polypoid species play significant roles in agriculture and food production. Many crop
species are polyploid, such as potato, wheat, strawberry, and sugarcane. Genotyping has …

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 …

Drought and high salinity are two major environmental factors that significantly limit the
productivity of agricultural crops worldwide. WRKY transcription factors play essential roles …

Gossypium hirsutum L. represents the largest source of textile fibre, and China is one of the
largest cotton‐producing and cotton‐consuming countries in the world. To investigate the …

Plant receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are important players in response to pathogen infections.
Verticillium and Fusarium wilts, caused by Verticillium dahliae (Vd) and Fusarium …

Cotton is an important cash crop worldwide, and is a significant source of fiber, feed,
foodstuff, oil and biofuel products. Considerable effort has been expended to increase …

The production of cotton is negatively affected by salinity. For this purpose, 8 parents and
their 16 F1 hybrids were evaluated under saline stress (15 dSm− 1) in Line× Tester fashion …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is produced in over 30 countries and
represents the most important natural fiber in the world. One of the primary factors affecting …
