Open AccessProgress and perspective on cotton breeding in Pakistan
Cotton is the prime natural fiber with economic significance globally. Cotton farming and breeding have a long history in Pakistan. The development of high yielding upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) varieties gr...

Homoeolog gene expression analysis reveals novel expression biases in upland hybrid cotton under intraspecific hybridization
Hybridization is useful to enhance the yield potential of agronomic crops in the world. Cotton has genome doubling due to the allotetraploid process and hybridization in coordination with duplicated genome can...

Open AccessComparative performance of hybrid generations reveals the potential application of F2 hybrids in upland cotton
The utilization of heterosis has greatly improved the productivity of cotton worldwide. However, a major constraint for the large-scale promotion of F1 hybrid cotton is artificial emasculation and pollination. Th...

The cellulose synthase (CesA) gene family in four Gossypium species: phylogenetics, sequence variation and gene expression in relation to fiber quality in Upland cotton
Cellulose synthases (CesAs) are multi-subunit enzymes found on the plasma membrane of plant cells and play a pivotal role in cellulose production. The cotton fiber is mainly composed of cellulose, and the gene...

Open AccessPhysical map** and InDel marker development for the restorer gene Rf2 in cytoplasmic male sterile CMS-D8 cotton
Cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) with cytoplasm from Gossypium Trilobum (D8) fails to produce functional pollen. It is useful for commercial hybrid cotton seed production. The restore line of CMS-D8 containing Rf2 ...

Article
Open AccessComparative transcriptome analysis of inbred lines and contrasting hybrids reveals overdominance mediate early biomass vigor in hybrid cotton
Heterosis breeding is the most useful method for yield increase around the globe. Heterosis is an intriguing process to develop superior offspring to either parent in the desired character. The biomass vigor p...

A genome-wide analysis of pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein-encoding genes in four Gossypium species with an emphasis on their expression in floral buds, ovules, and fibers in upland cotton
Cotton is the most important natural fiber used in textiles. Breeding for “three-lines”, i.e., cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS)-based sterile (A), maintainer (B), and restorer (R) line, is a promising approach...

Open AccessGenetic analysis of yield and fiber quality traits in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivated in different ecological regions of China
Cotton is an important fiber crop worldwide. The yield potential of current genotypes of cotton can be exploited through hybridization. However, to develop superior hybrids with high yield and fiber quality tr...

Open AccessGenome-wide analysis of Rf-PPR-like (RFL) genes and a new InDel marker development for Rf1 gene in cytoplasmic male sterile CMS-D2 Upland cotton
Cytoplasmic male sterility in flowering plants is a convenient way to use heterosis via hybrid breeding and may be restored by nuclear restorer-of-fertility (Rf) genes. In most cases, Rf genes encoded pentatricop...

Article
Development of InDel markers for the restorer gene Rf1 and assessment of their utility for marker-assisted selection in cotton
The cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) system is ideal for exploiting heterosis in crops such as cotton. However, CMS-D2, which is based on Gossypium harknessii cytoplasm, is still not widely used for cotton produc...

Article
Open AccessGenome-wide comparative transcriptome analysis of CMS-D2 and its maintainer and restorer lines in upland cotton
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) conferred by the cytoplasm from Gossypium harknessii (D2) is an important system for hybrid seed production in Upland cotton (G. hirsutum). The male sterility of CMS-D2 (i.e., A l...

Article
Development of a candidate gene marker for Rf 1 based on a PPR gene in cytoplasmic male sterile CMS-D2 Upland cotton
The cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) system is convenient and efficient for hybrid seed production in Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). However, it has not been widely used because of limited restorer lines ...

Article
Molecular characterization of cytoplasmic male sterility conditioned by Gossypium harknessii cytoplasm (CMS-D2) in upland cotton
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a maternally inherited trait that fails to produce functional pollen grains. The CMS system is widely employed to facilitate the utilization of heterosis in major crops. How...
