Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The most widely cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L., AD-genome) is derived from tetraploidization between A- and D-genome species. G. arboreum L. (A-genome) and G. raimondii Ulbr. (D-genome) are two of closely-related extant progenitors. Gene expression studies in allotetraploid cotton are complicated by the homoeologous loci of A- and D-genome origins. To develop genomic resources for gene...
