【 摘 要 】

Gossypium hirsutum, the most widely planted cotton species, its evolution has long been an unsolved puzzle because of its hybrid origin from D-genome and A-genome species. To better understand the genetic component of cotton, Huang et al. recently sequenced and assembled the first A1-genome G. herbaceum, and updated the A2-genome G. arboreum and (AD)1-genome G. hirsutum. On the basis of the three reference genomes, they resolved existing controversial concepts and provided novel evolutionary insights surrounding the A-genome.
