The GaKAN2, a KANADI transcription factor, modulates stem trichomes in Gossypium arboreum
GaKAN2, a member of the KANADI family, was found to be widely expressed in the cotton tissues and regulates trichome development through complex pathways.

GaHD1, a candidate gene for the Gossypium arboreum SMA-4 mutant, promotes trichome and fiber initiation by cellular H2O2 and Ca2+ signals
Cotton fibers are initiated from the epidermal cells of the ovule before or on the day of anthesis. Gossypium arboreum SMA-4 mutant contains recessive mutation (sma-4(ha)) and has the phenotypes of fibreless seed...

Preferential insertion of a Ty1 LTR-retrotransposon into the A sub-genome’s HD1 gene significantly correlated with the reduction in stem trichomes of tetraploid cotton
Stem trichomes and seed fibers originate from epidermal cells and partially share a regulatory pathway at the molecular level. In Gossypium barbadense, two insertions of a Ty1 long-terminal repeat-retrotransposon...

Genetic fine map** and candidate gene analysis of the Gossypium hirsutum Ligon lintless-1 (Li1) mutant on chromosome 22(D)
Ligon lintless-1 (Li1) is a Gossypium hirsutum mutant that is controlled by a dominant gene that arrests the development of cotton fiber after anthesis. Two F2 map** populations were developed from mutant (Li1 ...

Genome-wide investigation and transcriptome analysis of the WRKY gene family in Gossypium
WRKY transcription factors play important roles in various stress responses in diverse plant species. In cotton, this family has not been well studied, especially in relation to fiber development. Here, the ge...

QTL alleles for improved fiber quality from a wild Hawaiian cotton, Gossypium tomentosum
Seventeen backcross-self families from crosses between two Gossypium hirsutum recurrent parent lines (CA3084, CA3093) and G. tomentosum were used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling fiber quali...

Comparative Genomics of Cotton and Arabidopsis
Upland cotton (G. hirsutum), a tetraploid species, evolved from a reunion of two diploid species (most probably G. herbaceum and G. raimondii with A and D genomes respectively) about 1-2 million year ago. Cytogen...

Genetic map** and comparative analysis of seven mutants related to seed fiber development in cotton
Map** of genes that play major roles in cotton fiber development is an important step toward their cloning and manipulation, and provides a test of their relationships (if any) to agriculturally-important QT...

Genetic map** of a cross between Gossypium hirsutum (cotton) and the Hawaiian endemic, Gossypium tomentosum
The existence of five tetraploid species that derive from a common polyploidization event about 1 million years ago makes Gossypium (cotton) an attractive genus in which to study polyploid evolution and offers op...
