Today's increasingly unequal and resource intensive development model degrades and
surpasses Earth's finite capacity to sustain human well-being. Society must restore this …

Cotton is grown in arid and semi-arid regions where abiotic stresses such as drought and
salt are prevalent. There is a lack of studies that simultaneously address the genetic and …

Key message A major QTL conferring resistance to Fusarium wilt race 4 in a narrow region
of chromosome D02 was identified in a MAGIC population of 550 RILs of Upland cotton …

Cotton fiber provides the predominant plant textile in the world, and it is also a model for
