Cotton facilitates long-distance seed dispersal through bird nests: a mutualistic relationship?
Cotton (genus Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these ...

Methylome Changes Drive Fiber Differentiation in Cotton
In a groundbreaking revelation within plant genomics, a recent study published in BMC Genomics has illuminated the intricate processes of fiber differentiation in the widely cultivated cotton species, Gossypium hirsutum. This research highlights the dynamic changes in the plant’s methylome — a collective profile of DNA methylation patterns — across different developmental stages. As the demand for cotton continues to rise globally, understanding the molecular underpinnings of fiber development is essential, not only for genetic improvement but also for enhancing fiber quality and yield.
