01Narrative
Cochlospermum regium, also known as yellow cotton tree (; , ), is a flowering plant that has its origins in the Cerrado tropical savanna of South America (Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay),Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families but now it is also common in Southeast Asia. Cochlospermum regium is a small tree. Its yellow and bright flowers have antioxidant properties.Antioxidant and Anti-inflammation Activities of Six Flowers in Nakhon-nayok Province In Thailand it is the provincial flower of Nakhon Nayok, Sara Buri, Buri Ram, Suphan Buri and Uthai Thani Provinces.About Buriram Cochlospermum regium flower with praying mantis, in Laos

05DNA & barcodingmolecular
A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Cochlospermum regium has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB
The complete instruction manualCochlospermum regium carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants. Click any value below to see the underlying records and sources.
