Cotton is not only the world's most important natural fiber crop, but it is also an ideal system
in which to study genome evolution, polyploidization, and cell elongation. With the assembly …

Cotton is an irreplaceable economic crop currently domesticated in the human world for its
extremely elongated fiber cells specialized in seed epidermis, which makes it of high …

Polyploidy is an evolutionary innovation for many animals and all flowering plants, but its
impact on selection and domestication remains elusive. Here we analyze genome evolution …

Upon assembling the first Gossypium herbaceum (A1) genome and substantially improving
the existing Gossypium arboreum (A2) and Gossypium hirsutum ((AD) 1) genomes, we …

Structural variations (SVs) have long been described as being involved in the origin,
adaption, and domestication of species. However, the underlying genetic and genomic …

Background Millennia of directional human selection has reshaped the genomic architecture
of cultivated cotton relative to wild counterparts, but we have limited understanding of the …

Tibetan wheat is grown under environmental constraints at high-altitude conditions, but its
underlying adaptation mechanism remains unknown. Here, we present a draft genome …

Large-scale comparative genomic studies have provided important insights into species
evolution and diversity, but also lead to a great challenge to visualize. Quick catching or …

Multiple cotton genomes (diploid and tetraploid) have been assembled. However, genomic
variations between cultivars of allotetraploid upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), the …

Allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium) species represents a model system for the study of plant
polyploidy, molecular evolution, and domestication. Here, chromosome-scale genome …
