    Is Gossypium hirsutum an ancestor of cotton?
    Importantly, the D genome (G. raimondii) together with the A genome (Gossypium arboreum or Gossypium herbaceum) is the likely ancestor of G. hirsutum and G. barbadense, two important cotton fiber-producing species . G. raimondii was therefore selected as the first species for WGS by two different research groups [12, 13].
