Polyploidy, or whole genome multiplication, is ubiquitous among angiosperms. Many crop
species are relatively recent allopolyploids, resulting from interspecific hybridization and …

Gossypium, the cotton genus, includes∼ 50 species distributed in tropical and sub-tropical
regions of all continents except Europe. Here we provide a synopsis of the evolutionary …

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) was formed~ 7500 years ago by hybridization between B.
rapa and B. oleracea, followed by chromosome doubling, a process known as …

Over the last eight years, the volume of whole genome, gene expression, SNP genotyping,
and phenotype data generated by the cotton research community has exponentially …

Of the two cultivated species of allopolyploid cotton, Gossypium barbadense produces extra-
long fibers for the production of superior textiles. We sequenced its genome (AD) 2 and …

Gossypium hirsutum contributes the most production of cotton fibre, but G. barbadense is
valued for its better comprehensive resistance and superior fibre properties. However, the …

Abstract CottonGen (http://www. cottongen. org) is a curated and integrated web-based
relational database providing access to publicly available genomic, genetic and breeding …

Whole-genome duplications are radical evolutionary events that have driven speciation and
adaptation in many taxa. Higher-order polyploids have complex histories often including …

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a class of riboregulators
that either directly act in long form or are processed into shorter microRNAs (miRNAs) and …

Allo-octoploid cultivated strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) originated through a combination
of polyploid and homoploid hybridization, domestication of an interspecific hybrid lineage …
