Lignin metabolism has a central role in the resistance of cotton to the wilt fungus Verticillium dahliae as revealed by RNA-Seq-dependent transcriptional analysis and histochemistry

TL;DR: A critical role for lignin was believed to contribute to the resistance of cotton to disease and the utility of RNA-Seq for gene expression profiles during the cotton defence response was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetric subgenome selection and cis -regulatory divergence during cotton domestication

TL;DR: A variation map for 352 wild and domesticated cotton accessions is described and evidence showing asymmetric subgenome domestication for directional selection of long fibers is provided, providing new insights into the evolution of gene organization, regulation and adaptation in a major crop.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome sequence of Sea-Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) provides insights into the allopolyploidization and development of superior spinnable fibres.

TL;DR: A high-quality assembly of the 2.57 gigabase genome of G. barbadense is presented, suggesting an integrated regulatory mechanism of CesA genes from At and Dt subgenomes for the primary and secondary cellulose biosynthesis of cotton fibre in a “relay race”-like fashion.
