Abstract excerpt
Genetic improvement of cottonseed oil content represents a crucial strategy for enhancing the comprehensive utilization of cotton. Here, genome-wide association study (GWAS) and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were integrated to elucidate the genetic control underlying oil content. Phenotypic evaluation of 159 cotton accessions revealed extensive genetic variation, with kernel oil content...
