Abstract excerpt
Cottonseed protein is a valuable yet underexploited resource. However, efforts to genetically improve this trait have been hindered by the scarcity of genetic loci that are reproducible across diverse environments. In this study, we evaluated the crude protein content in a natural population consisting of 259 upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) accessions across seven environments in Xinjiang during the...
