An Intronic Structural Variant in GhEBS1 Drives Cotton Fruit Size Divergence by Modulating Chromatin Accessibility and Gene Expression

ABSTRACT Fruit size is not only a crucial fitness trait in plant evolution but also an important agronomic target in crop domestication and improvement, yet its regulatory mechanisms remain poorly characterized. Here, we identified an F‐box E3 ubiquitin ligase gene, GhEBS1 (ENLARGED BOLL SIZE 1), as a positive regulato...
