A Retrotransposon Insertion in GhMML3_D12 Is Likely Responsible for the Lintless Locus li3 of Tetraploid Cotton

Cotton (Gossypium) seed fibers can be divided into lint (long) or fuzz (very short). Using fiberless (fuzzless-lintless) mutants, the lint initiation gene Li3 was identified by map-based cloning. The gene is an R2R3-MYB transcription factor located on chromosome D12 (GhMML3_D12). Sequence analysis r...
