Polyploidy and the Evolutionary History of Cotton (2003, methodology): “…cotton species harbor multiple instances of nested, duplicated chromosome segments, indicating that allotetraploid cotton experienced rounds of polyploidization that are more ancient than the most recent one in the Pleistocene (Brubaker et al., 1999b; Paterson et al., 2000; Reinisch et al., 1994).”
Microsatellite diversity in tetraploid Gossypium germplasm: assembling a highly informative genotyping set of cotton SSRs (2006, background): “The three geographical races from Southern Mexico, morrilli, palmeri and richmondi are known to be phenotypically close (Percival et al. 1999), except for the deeply laciniate leaves of race palmeri.”
Genetic mapping and quantitative trait locus analysis of fiber quality traits using a three-parent composite population in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) (2011, background): “The genus Gossypium comprises approximately 50 species (Percival et al. 1999, Wendel and Cronn 2003), including four cultivated species, G. arboreum, G. herbaceum, G. hirsutum and G. barbadense.”
