Open AccessA genome-wide analysis of the small auxin-up RNA (SAUR) gene family in cotton
Small auxin-up RNA (SAUR) gene family is the largest family of early auxin response genes in higher plants, which have been implicated in the regulation of multiple biological processes. However, no comprehensive...

Open AccessIdentification of candidate genes for fiber length quantitative trait loci through RNA-Seq and linkage and physical map** in cotton
Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fibers are single-celled elongated trichomes, the molecular aspects of genetic variation in fiber length (FL) among genotypes are currently unknown. In this study, two backcross inbred lin...

Identification of quantitative trait loci across interspecific F2, F2:3 and testcross populations for agronomic and fiber traits in tetraploid cotton
The most widely grown tetraploid Gossypium hirsutum and G. barbadense differ greatly in yield potential and fiber quality and numerous quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been reported. However, correspondence of...

Map** quantitative trait loci for lint yield and fiber quality across environments in a Gossypium hirsutum × Gossypium barbadense backcross inbred line population
Identification of stable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) across different environments and map** populations is a prerequisite for marker-assisted selection (MAS) for cotton yield and fiber quality. To constr...

Map** quantitative trait loci for cottonseed oil, protein and gossypol content in a Gossypium hirsutum × Gossypium barbadense backcross inbred line population
Cotton is one of the most important oil-producing crops and the cottonseed meal provides important protein nutrients as animal feed. However, information on the genetic basis of cottonseed oil and protein cont...
