The two cultivated allopolyploid cottons, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense,
represent a remarkable example of parallel independent domestication, both involving …

Polyploidy plays a major role in genome evolution, which corresponds to environmental
changes over millions of years. The mechanisms of genome evolution, particularly during …

Background Cotton has been cultivated and used to make fabrics for at least 7000 years.
Two allotetraploid species of great commercial importance, Gossypium hirsutum and …

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 …

Background Modern allotetraploid cotton contains an “A” and “D” genome from an ancestral
polyploidy event that occurred approximately 1–2 million years ago. Diploid A-and D …

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

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 …

Understanding the relationship between domesticated crop species and their wild relatives
is paramount to germplasm maintenance and the utilization of wild relatives in breeding …

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

Cis and trans regulatory divergence underlies phenotypic and evolutionary diversification.
Relatively little is understood about the complexity of regulatory evolution accompanying …
