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 …

Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) is world-renowned for its superior natural fiber.
Although fiber strength is one of the most important fiber quality traits, genes contributing to …

Background Alternative splicing (AS) of mRNA plays an important roles in transcriptome
diversity, involving regulation of plant growth and stress response. Understanding the …

Abstract Introduction Sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense, Gb) is one of the major
sources of high-grade natural fiber. Besides the common annual Gb cotton, perennial Gb …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is a vital global source of renewable fiber and ranks among the
world's most important cash crops. While extensive nuclear genomic data of Gossypium has …

The functional annotation of genomes, including chromatin modifications, is essential to
understand the intricate architecture of chromatin and the consequential gene regulation …

Main conclusion Our results indicate caterpillars and aphids cause similar levels of induced
defences and resistance against caterpillars in wild cotton plants. These symmetrical effects …
