Doubling down on genomes: polyploidy and crop plants
S Renny‐Byfield, JF Wendel - American journal of botany, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Polyploidy, or whole genome multiplication, is ubiquitous among angiosperms. Many crop
species are relatively recent allopolyploids, resulting from interspecific hybridization and …

Molecular mechanisms of polyploidy and hybrid vigor
ZJ Chen - Trends in plant science, 2010 - cell.com
Hybrids such as maize (Zea mays) or domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) grow bigger and
stronger than their parents. This is also true for allopolyploids such as wheat (Triticum spp.) …

Control of cotton fibre elongation by a homeodomain transcription factor GhHOX3
Cotton fibres are unusually long, single-celled epidermal seed trichomes and a model for
plant cell growth, but little is known about the regulation of fibre cell elongation. Here we …

Homoeolog expression bias and expression level dominance in allopolyploids
Polyploidy is now recognized as a characteristic feature of all angiosperm genomes (Jiao et
al., 2011), and remains an important speciation process today (Wendel, 2000; Comai, 2005; …

How cotton fibers elongate: a tale of linear cell-growth mode
YM Qin, YX Zhu - Current opinion in plant biology, 2011 - Elsevier
Cotton fibers (cotton lint) are single-celled trichomes that differentiate from the ovule
epidermis. Unidirectional and fast-growing cells generally expand at the dome-shaped …

A comprehensive meta QTL analysis for fiber quality, yield, yield related and morphological traits, drought tolerance, and disease resistance in tetraploid cotton
Background The study of quantitative trait loci (QTL) in cotton (Gossypium spp.) is focused
on traits of agricultural significance. Previous studies have identified a plethora of QTL …
