Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fiber quality is an important economic trait of cotton, and its improvement is a major goal of cotton breeding. To better understand the genetic mechanisms responsible for fiber quality traits, we conducted a genome-wide association study to identify and mine fiber-quality-related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and genes. RESULTS: In total, 42 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 31 QTLs were...
