Abstract The Mexican cotton Gossypium gossypioides is a perplexing entity, with conflicting
morphological, cytogenetic, and molecular evidence of its phylogenetic affinity to other …

Gossypium tomentosum is the only member of the cotton genus endemic to the Hawaiian
archipelago. It is morphologically distinct from other allopolyploid Gossypium species, and …

The genus Gossypium has a long history of taxonomic and evolutionary study. Much of this
attention has been stimulated by the fact that the genus includes four domesticated species …

Most cotton (Gossypium spp.) breeders today, without recourse to critical data, assume that
the genetic base in modern New World cotton cultivars is narrow. The objectives of this study …

This chapter deals with the biological diversity that exists in the genus Gossypium, the genus
that includes the cultivated cottons and numerous wild relatives. The diversity is considered …

Total genomic DNAs from 61 accessions of 40 species of Gossypium were surveyed for
restriction site variation in the maternally inherited plastid genome using 25 endonucleases …

This chapter provides a historical perspective of the elaboration of cotton cultivars in the
USA over the past 300 years or so. Cotton is harvested from almost 32.4 million ha in more …

Understanding the relationship between domesticated crop species and their wild relatives
is paramount to germplasm maintenance and the utilization of wild relatives in breeding …

Since 6000 BC, cotton has been cultivated for lint fiber, which now dominates the natural
textile industry worldwide. Common resources such as an integrated web database, a …
