Functional genomics has transformed from futuristic concept to well‐established scientific
discipline during the last decade. Cotton functional genomics promise to enhance the …

Lack of precise information about the candidate genes involved in a complex quantitative
trait is a major obstacle in the cotton fiber quality improvement, and thus, overall genetic gain …

Today, the exploitation of recycled fibers emanating from textile waste has substantially
increased owing to the growing environmental consciousness, legal sustainability …

Background Cotton supplies a great majority of natural fiber for the global textile industry.
The negative correlation between yield and fiber quality has hindered breeders' ability to …

Abstract Background Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is predominantly an autopolyploid plant
with a variable ploidy level, frequent aneuploidy and a large genome that hampers …

Comparative transcriptome analysis of fiber tissues between Gossypium barbadense and
Gossypium hirsutum could reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying high-quality fiber …

Germin (GER) and germin-like proteins (GLPs) play an important role in various plant
processes. Zea mays contains 26 germin-like protein genes (ZmGLPs) located on …

Key message Three QTL regions controlling three fiber quality traits were validated and
further fine-mapped with 27 new single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers …

Gossypium barbadense possesses a superior fiber quality because of its fiber length and
strength. An in-depth analysis of the underlying genetic mechanism could aid in filling the …

Abstract Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) catalyzes acetyl-CoA to produce malonyl-CoA,
which is the essential first step in the biosynthesis of de novo fatty acids. The heteromeric …
