TL;DR: A draft genome using 181-fold paired-end sequences assisted by fivefold BAC-to-BAC sequences and a high-resolution genetic map is produced for G. hirsutum, revealing conserved gene order and concerted evolution of different regulatory mechanisms for Cellulose synthase and 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase1 and 3 may be important for enhanced fiber production.

TL;DR: High-quality de novo–assembled genomes of two cultivated allotetraploid cotton species and whole-genome comparative analyses provide insights into the evolution of cotton genomes and improvement of fiber quality and resilience to stress.

TL;DR: There is immediate need to take protective measures and treatment technologies to overcome unhygienic condition of drinking water supplies in different areas of Pakistan.

TL;DR: Investigation of exogenous fertigation by sodium nitroprusside to induce salt tolerance in four high yielding wheat cultivars indicated that SNP-priming induced salt tolerance by up-regulating the antioxidative defense mechanisms resulting in better biomass production and grain yield.

TL;DR: GoPGF, which encodes a basic helix-loop-helix domain-containing transcription factor, is proposed is a positive regulator of gland formation and provides a potential molecular basis to generate glandless seed and glanded cotton.
