Identification of candidate genes for fiber length quantitative trait loci through RNA-Seq and linkage and physical mapping in cotton

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fibers are single-celled elongated trichomes, the molecular aspects of genetic variation in fiber length (FL) among genotypes are currently unknown. In this study, two backcross inbred lines (BILs), i.e., NMGA-062 (“Long”) and NMGA-105 (“Short”) with 32.1...
