Open AccessDifferentiation in the genetic basis of stem trichome development between cultivated tetraploid cotton species
Cotton stem trichomes and seed fibers are each single celled structures formed by protrusions of epidermal cells, and were found sharing the overlap** molecular mechanism. Compared with fibers, cotton stem t...

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.

Open AccessAnalyses of the sucrose synthase gene family in cotton: structure, phylogeny and expression patterns
In plants, sucrose synthase (Sus) is widely considered as a key enzyme involved in sucrose metabolism. Several paralogous genes encoding different isozymes of Sus have been identified and characterized in mult...

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...
