Identification of Loci and Candidate Genes Responsible for Fiber Length in Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) via Association Mapping and Linkage Analyses

Identification of Loci and Candidate Genes Responsible for Fiber Length in Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) via Association Mapping and Linkage Analyses

Fiber length (FL) is an important fiber quality trait in cotton. Although many fiber quality quantitative trait loci (QTL) responsible for FL have been identified, most cannot be applied to breeding programs, mainly due to unstable environments or large confidence intervals. In this study, we combin...
