Abstract excerpt
Length and strength are key parameters impacting the quality of textiles that can be produced from cotton fibers, and therefore are important considerations in cotton breeding. Through map-based cloning and function analysis, we demonstrated that GhROPGEF5, encoding a ROP guanine nucleotide exchange factor, was the gene controlling fiber length and strength at qFSA10.1. Evolutionary analysis revealed that a base...
