The Genome Sequence of Gossypioides kirkii Illustrates a Descending Dysploidy in Plants

One of the extraordinary aspects of plant genome evolution is variation in chromosome number, particularly that among closely related species. This is exemplified by the cotton genus (Gossypium) and its relatives, where most species and genera have a base chromosome number of 13. The two exceptions...
