TL;DR: It is shown that an abrupt five- to sixfold ploidy increase approximately 60 million years (Myr) ago, and allopolyploidy reuniting divergent Gossypium genomes approximately 1–2 Myr ago, conferred about 30–36-fold duplication of ancestral angiosperm genes in elite cottons, genetic complexity equalled only by Brassica among sequenced angiosperms.

TL;DR: Identification of SSRs within 312 RFLP sequences plus direct mapping of 124 SSRs and exploration for CAPS and SNPs illustrate the “portability” of these STS loci across populations and detection systems useful for marker-assisted improvement of the world's leading fiber crop.

TL;DR: Despite rapidly decreasing costs and innovative technologies, sequencing of angiosperm genomes is not yet undertaken lightly and the difficulties of sequencing and assembling complex genomes de novo are not yet addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyploid formation created unique avenues for response to selection in gossypium (cotton)
TL;DR: The findings impel molecular dissection of the roles of divergent subgenomes in quantitative inheritance in many other polyploids and further exploration of both "synthetic" polyploid and exotic diploid genotypes for agriculturally useful variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Genomics of Plant Chromosomes

TL;DR: Comparative genomics, the study of similarities and differences in structure and function of the hereditary information in different taxa, uses molecular tools to investigate notions that far preceded the discovery that DNA was the hereditary molecule.
