Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The high fiber strength (FS) of a Upland cotton cultivar bred by interspecific cross was found to be associated with a D11 QTL and the identification of a candidate gene, and a genetic variant provides a potential tool for molecular breeding of high FS cotton cultivars. Fiber strength (FS) is one of the critical determinants of cotton fiber quality. Despite many quantitative trait loci (QTLs)...
