Genetics and Genomics of Cotton Edited by Andrew H. Paterson The Gossypium (cotton) genus presents unique opportunities to advance our understanding of the natural world. In particular, the evolution of cultivated cottons from their wild ancestors has involved a fascinating series of events that off...
