Cotton (Gossypium spp.) contributes significantly to the economy of cotton-producing
countries. Pakistan is the fourth-largest producer of cotton after China, the USA and India …

High-throughput genotyping arrays provide a standardized resource for plant breeding
communities that are useful for a breadth of applications including high-density genetic …

A narrow germplasm base and a complex allotetraploid genome have made the discovery of
single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers difficult in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). To …

Background Molecular breeding of pepper (Capsicum spp.) can be accelerated by
developing DNA markers associated with transcriptomes in breeding germplasm. Before the …

It is of significance to discover genes related to fiber quality and yield traits and tightly linked
markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in cotton breeding. In this study, 188 F8 …

Genetic linkage maps play fundamental roles in understanding genome structure,
explaining genome formation events during evolution, and discovering the genetic bases of …

We present an overview of Gossypium genome evolution and the implications of this
understanding for targeted breeding objectives. The cotton genus (Gossypium) contains …

The superior fiber properties of Gossypium barbadense L. serve as a source of novel
variation for improving fiber quality in Upland cotton (G. hirsutum L.), but introgression from …
