Abstract excerpt
Modern cultivated cotton fibers are predominantly white with enhanced quality compared to their wild ancestors. However, the molecular mechanisms and evolutionary drivers linking fiber color to quality remain least focused. In this study, we identified FQC1 (Fiber Quality and Color 1), a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome A07 that concurrently regulates both fiber quality and pigmentation. Through...
