Mapping of cotton fiber length and strength quantitative trait loci using microsatellites /

There is a need to improve fiber characteristics of upland (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cotton cultivars to meet market and textile demands. Polymorphic microsatellite markers, derived from several sources, were identified and used to map chromosomal regions, genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs), th...
