Domestication in the cotton genus is remarkable in that it has occurred independently four
different times at two different ploidy levels. Relatively little is known about genome evolution …

Domesticated cotton species provide raw material for the majority of the world's textile
industry. Two independent domestication events have been identified in allopolyploid …

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

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 …

We employed phylogenomic methods to study molecular evolutionary processes and
phylogeny in the geographically widely dispersed New World diploid cottons (Gossypium …

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

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

Over 95% of the currently cultivated cotton was domesticated from Gossypium hirsutum,
which originated and diversified in Mexico. Demographic and genetic studies of this species …

Cotton has been domesticated independently four times for its fiber, but the genomic targets
of selection during each domestication event are mostly unknown. Comparative analysis of …

Genome sizes vary by several orders of magnitude, driven by mechanisms such as
illegitimate recombination and transposable element proliferation. Prior analysis of the CesA …
