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 …

Crop populations derived from experimental crosses enable the genetic dissection of
complex traits and support modern plant breeding. Among these, multi-parent populations …

Background Millennia of directional human selection has reshaped the genomic architecture
of cultivated cotton relative to wild counterparts, but we have limited understanding of the …

Large-scale genomic surveys of crop germplasm are important for understanding the
genetic architecture of favorable traits. The genomic basis of geographic differentiation and …

Cotton genetic resources contain diverse economically important traits that can be used
widely in breeding approaches to create of high-yielding elite cultivars with superior fiber …

Today's increasingly unequal and resource intensive development model degrades and
surpasses Earth's finite capacity to sustain human well-being. Society must restore this …

The cotton fibre serves as a valuable experimental system to study cell wall synthesis in
plants, but our understanding of the genetic regulation of this process during fibre …

Abstract The excellent Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivars developed since 1949
have made a huge contribution to cotton production in China, the world's largest producer …

Key message Integrating genomics technologies and breeding methods to tweak core
parameters of the breeder's equation could accelerate delivery of climate-resilient and …

Cotton is grown in arid and semi-arid regions where abiotic stresses such as drought and
