Gossypium, the cotton genus, includes∼ 50 species distributed in tropical and sub-tropical
regions of all continents except Europe. Here we provide a synopsis of the evolutionary …

Gossypium, as the one of the biggest genera, the most diversity, and the highest economic
value in field crops, is assuming an increasingly important role in studies on plant taxonomy …

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

Of the two cultivated species of allopolyploid cotton, Gossypium barbadense produces extra-
long fibers for the production of superior textiles. We sequenced its genome (AD) 2 and …

High-throughput genoty** arrays provide a standardized resource for plant breeding
communities that are useful for a breadth of applications including high-density genetic …

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

Genetic improvement of fibre quality is one of the main breeding goals for the upland cotton,
Gossypium hirsutum, but there are difficulties with precise selection of traits. Therefore, it is …

The formation of allopolyploid cotton precipitated a rapid diversification and colonization of
dry coastal American tropical and subtropical regions. Previous phylogenetic analyses …

Abstract Key message Combining GWAS, QTL-seq and transcriptome sequencing detected
basal defense-related genes showing gDNA sequence variation and expression difference …

We present an overview of Gossypium genome evolution and the implications of this
understanding for targeted breeding objectives. The cotton genus (Gossypium) contains …
