Cotton is not only the world's most important natural fiber crop, but it is also an ideal system
in which to study genome evolution, polyploidization, and cell elongation. With the assembly …

Cotton is an irreplaceable economic crop currently domesticated in the human world for its
extremely elongated fiber cells specialized in seed epidermis, which makes it of high …

Allotetraploid cotton is an economically important natural-fiber-producing crop worldwide.
After polyploidization, Gossypium hirsutum L. evolved to produce a higher fiber yield and to …

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

Background The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable
resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa …

The ancestors of Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium herbaceum provided the A
subgenome for the modern cultivated allotetraploid cotton. Here, we upgraded the G …

Background Millennia of directional human selection has reshaped the genomic architecture
of cultivated cotton relative to wild counterparts, but we have limited understanding of the …

Global food demand is expected to nearly double by 2050 due to an increase in the world's
population. The Green Revolution has played a key role in the past century by increasing …

Gossypium hirsutum is an allotetraploid with a complex genome. Most genes have multiple
copies that belong to At and Dt subgenomes. Sequence similarity is also very high between …

Over the last eight years, the volume of whole genome, gene expression, SNP genoty**,
