Abstract excerpt
Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) produces premium-quality fibres, yet the genetic basis underlying its fibre development remains elusive. Here, we identify two key non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, G/C and G/A) in the gene Gbar_D13G024080, which encodes the TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN 209 (TMEM209). These SNPs resulted in amino acid changes (V/L and R/K), and are significantly correlated...
