ZM81 genes anotation files

This work presents a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of a novel brown cotton cultivar, <i>Gossypium hirsutum</i> L. ‘Zhongmiansuo 81’ (ZM81), which we believe represents a valuable and timely contribution to the plant genomics community. As China's first genetically modified conventional deep brown cotton cultivar, ZM81 exhibits stable pigmentation, enhanced fiber quality, and disease tolerance, making its genome an essential reference for studying natural fiber pigmentation—a trait of considerable economic and ecological relevance for sustainable textile production.

本研究报道了一个全新棕色棉栽培品种——陆地棉（<i>Gossypium hirsutum</i> L.）‘中棉所81’（ZM81）的高质量染色体级基因组组装结果，我们认为该成果对植物基因组学研究领域具有重要且及时的学术贡献。作为我国首个转基因常规深棕色棉栽培品种，ZM81具有稳定的色素沉积特性、改良的纤维品质与抗病性，其基因组可为天然纤维色素沉积研究提供关键参考依据——该性状对于纺织产业的可持续生产具有显著的经济与生态价值。
