Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an important natural fiber plant. Lint percentage (LP) is one of
the most important determinants of cotton yield and is a typical quantitative trait with high …

Summary Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) is the source of the world's finest fibre
quality cotton, yet relatively little is understood about genetic variations among diverse …

Background Many elite genes have been identified from the available cotton genomic data,
providing various genetic resources for gene-driven breeding. However, backbone cultivar …

Verticillium wilt (VW), Fusarium wilt (FW) and Root-knot nematode (RKN) are the main
diseases affecting cotton production. However, many reported quantitative trait loci (QTLs) …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fiber yield is one of the key target traits, and
improved fiber yield has always been thought of as an important objective in the breeding …

Xinjiang has been the largest and highest yield cotton production region not only in China,
but also in the world. Improvements in Upland cotton cultivars in Xinjiang have occurred via …

Respiratory burst oxidase homologs (Rbohs) play a predominant role in reactive oxygen
species (ROS) production, which is crucial in plant growth, differentiation, as well as their …

Background Upland cotton wild/landraces represent a valuable resource for disease
resistance alleles. Genetic differentiation between genotypes, as well as variation in …

Cotton is the main source of natural fiber in the textile industry, making it one of the most
economically important fiber crops in the world. Verticillium wilt, caused by the pathogenic …

Plant breeding is both the science and art of developing elite crop cultivars by creating and
reassembling desirable inherited traits for human benefit. From the bulk selection of wild …
