Abstract excerpt
Cotton is a model system for studying polyploidization, genomic organization, and genome-size variation because the allotetraploid was formed 1-2 million years ago, which is old enough for sequence divergence but relatively recent to maintain genome stability. In spite of characterizing random genomic sequences in many polyploidy plants, the cytogenetic and sequence data that decipher homoeologous chromosomes are...
