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 …

Background Trichomes play a key role in the development of plants and exist in a wide
variety of species. Results In this paper, it was reviewed that the structure and morphology …

Cultivated rice varieties are all diploid, and polyploidization of rice has long been desired
because of its advantages in genome buffering, vigorousness, and environmental …

Allotetraploid cotton is an economically important natural-fiber-producing crop worldwide.
After polyploidization, Gossypium hirsutum L. evolved to produce a higher fiber yield and to …

Cultivated strawberry emerged from the hybridization of two wild octoploid species, both
descendants from the merger of four diploid progenitor species into a single nucleus more …

Like many other crops, the cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is of hybrid origin and
has a polyploid genome that contains essentially complete sets of chromosomes from two …

Polyploidy is an evolutionary innovation for many animals and all flowering plants, but its
impact on selection and domestication remains elusive. Here we analyze genome evolution …

Allotetraploid cotton species (Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense) have long
been cultivated worldwide for natural renewable textile fibers. The draft genome sequences …

Construction of chromosome-level assembly is a vital step in achieving the goal of a
'Platinum'genome, but it remains a major challenge to assemble and anchor sequences to …

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