Abstract excerpt
Cotton bacterial blight (CBB), caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. malvacearum (Xcm), continues to pose a significant threat to upland cotton (Gossypium spp.) production across the US Cotton Belt. To elucidate the genetic basis of resistance to race 18 of CBB and identify potential novel resistance sources, we conducted genome-wide association studies (GWASs) using a diversity panel of 661 upland cotton accessions...
