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.

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...

A genetic system on chromosome arm 1BL of wild emmer causes distorted segregation in common wheat
Nonrandom segregation ratios of alleles ‘segregation distortion’ can have a striking impact on transmission genetics, and with widespread availability of genetic markers has been shown to be a frequent phenome...

Open AccessDivergence and evolution of cotton bHLH proteins from diploid to allotetraploid
Polyploidy is considered a major driving force in genome expansion, yielding duplicated genes whose expression may be conserved or divergence as a consequence of polyploidization.

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...

Open AccessA draft physical map of a D-genome cotton species (Gossypium raimondii)
Genetically anchored physical maps of large eukaryotic genomes have proven useful both for their intrinsic merit and as an adjunct to genome sequencing. Cultivated tetraploid cottons, Gossypium hirsutum and G. ba...
