Genome research promises to promote continued and enhanced plant genetic
improvement. As a world′ s leading crop and a model system for studies of many biological …

Genetic improvement in fiber quality is one of the main challenges for cotton breeders. Fiber
quality traits are controlled by multiple genes and are classified as complex quantitative …

Identification of stable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) across different environments and
mapping populations is a prerequisite for marker-assisted selection (MAS) for cotton yield …

The improvement of cotton fiber quality is extremely important because of changes in
spinning technology. The identification of the stable QTLs affecting fiber traits across …

The improvement of cotton fiber quality has become more important because of changes in
spinning technology. Stable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for fiber quality will enable …

Cotton fiber properties are essential predictors of yarn performance. The suite of fiber quality
traits that collectively affect the utility of the fiber for the textile industry include the length, the …

Fiber is a basic raw material in the textile industry. The changes in spinning technology have
in common the requirement of unique and often greater cotton fiber quality, especially …

Identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for fiber quality traits that are stable across
multiple generations and environments could facilitate marker-assisted selection for …

A genetic linkage map with 70 loci (55 SSR, 12 AFLP and 3 morphological loci) was
constructed using 117 F 2 plants obtained from a cross between two upland cotton cultivars …

To facilitate marker assisted selection, there is an urgent need to construct a saturated
genetic map of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Four types of markers including SSR …
