Molecular mechanisms of fiber differential development between G. barbadense and G. hirsutum revealed by genetical genomics.

Cotton fiber qualities including length, strength and fineness are known to be controlled by genes affecting cell elongation and secondary cell wall (SCW) biosynthesis, but the molecular mechanisms that govern development of fiber traits are largely unknown. Here, we evaluated an interspecific backc...
