Allotetraploid cotton species (Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense) have long
been cultivated worldwide for natural renewable textile fibers. The draft genome sequences …

Identification of stable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) across different environments and
map** populations is a prerequisite for marker-assisted selection (MAS) for cotton yield …

Understanding the population structure and linkage disequilibrium in an association panel
can effectively avoid spurious associations and improve the accuracy in association …

Background SNPs are the most abundant polymorphism type, and have been explored in
many crop genomic studies, including rice and maize. SNP discovery in allotetraploid cotton …

Background Since upland cotton was introduced into China during the 1920s–1950s,
hundreds of inbreed cultivars have been developed. To explore the molecular diversity …

Fine map** QTL s and identifying candidate genes for cotton fibre‐quality and yield traits
would be beneficial to cotton breeding. Here, we constructed a high‐density genetic map by …

Background The identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that are stable and consistent
across multiple environments and populations plays an essential role in marker-assisted …

Cotton fiber quality traits are controlled by multiple genes of minor effect. Identification of
significant and stable quantitative trait loci (QTL) across environments and populations lays …

It is of significance to discover genes related to fiber quality and yield traits and tightly linked
markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in cotton breeding. In this study, 188 F8 …

Genetic linkage maps play fundamental roles in understanding genome structure,
explaining genome formation events during evolution, and discovering the genetic bases of …
