Pima cotton (G ossypium barbadense) is widely cultivated because of its long, strong seed
trichomes ('fibers') used for premium textiles. These agronomically advanced fibers were …

Comparative proteomic analyses were performed to detail the evolutionary consequences of
strong directional selection for enhanced fiber traits in modern upland cotton (Gossypium …

Allopolyploidization is accompanied by changes in gene expression that are thought to
contribute to phenotypic diversification. Here we describe global changes in the single …

Background Understanding the evolutionary genetics of modern crop phenotypes has a
dual relevance to evolutionary biology and crop improvement. Modern upland cotton …

Gossypium hirsutum L.(Upland cotton) has an evolutionary history involving inter-genomic
hybridization, polyploidization, and subsequent domestication. We analyzed the …

Gossypium barbadense is widely cultivated because of its extra‐long staple cotton with
superior luster, silkiness and high yield. These economically important traits were selected …

The single-celled cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fiber provides an excellent model to
investigate how human selection affects phenotypic evolution. To gain insight into the …

A putative advantage of allopolyploidy is the possibility of differential selection of duplicated
(homeologous) genes originating from two different progenitor genomes. In this note we …

A few members of the Gossypium (cotton) genus are cultivated for the production of
elongated single-celled fibers valued worldwide at about $20 billion annually at the farm …

Cotton (Gossypium) fiber is the most prevalent natural product used in the textile industry.
The two major cultivated species, G. hirsutum (Gh) and G. barbadense (Gb), are …
