organisms. The dynamics of genetic regulation of gene expression between coresident …

Allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium) species represents a model system for the study of plant
polyploidy, molecular evolution, and domestication. Here, chromosome-scale genome …

Structural variations (SVs) have long been described as being involved in the origin,
adaption, and domestication of species. However, the underlying genetic and genomic …

Background Verticillium wilt is one of the most devasting diseases for many plants, leading
to global economic loss. Cotton is known to be vulnerable to its fungal pathogen, Verticillium …

Cotton produces natural fiber for the textile industry. The genetic effects of genomic structural
variations underlying agronomic traits remain unclear. Here, we generate two high-quality …

Cotton is an important economic crop, and many loci for important traits have been
identified, but it remains challenging and time-consuming to identify candidate or causal …

Background The epidermis of cotton ovule produces fibers, the most important natural
cellulose source for the global textile industry. However, the molecular mechanism of fiber …
