Open AccessGossypium barbadense and Gossypium hirsutum genomes provide insights into the origin and evolution of allotetraploid cotton
Allotetraploid cotton is an economically important natural-fiber-producing crop worldwide. After polyploidization, Gossypium hirsutum L. evolved to produce a higher fiber yield and to better survive harsh environ...

Open AccessGenomic insights into divergence and dual domestication of cultivated allotetraploid cottons
Cotton has been cultivated and used to make fabrics for at least 7000 years. Two allotetraploid species of great commercial importance, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense, were domesticated after polyplo...

Open AccessSequence-based ultra-dense genetic and physical maps reveal structural variations of allopolyploid cotton genomes
SNPs are the most abundant polymorphism type, and have been explored in many crop genomic studies, including rice and maize. SNP discovery in allotetraploid cotton genomes has lagged behind that of other crops...
