Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: This study reveals genetic factors influencing macronutrient content in cottonseeds, identifying key loci and candidate genes for breeding strategies to improve seed nutrition. Macronutrients such as potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) are essential for crop growth, seed quality, and nutrition and health of humans and animals. Insufficient levels of these macronutrients in cottonseeds can...
