Cotton (Gossypium spp.), a leading natural fiber, is a major cash crop in the world and is grown commercially in more than 50 countries. China, India, USA, Pakistan and Uzbekistan are the five major cotton growing countries, with China holding the highest productivity (1,265 kg/ha). Out of 50 known species of Gossypium, 45 are diploids with 26 chromosomes and are placed in eight cytogenetic groups...
The genus Gossypium has 50 species, of which only four are cultivated commercially. India is the only country that grows all four cultivated species of cotton, with the majority of the cotton cultivated area being used for Gossypium hirsutum. The country has done pioneering work in developing hybrids of cotton, and presently, 73.62% of cotton cultivated area is occupied by Bt cotton hybrids of G. hirsutum...
A total 177 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were screened using a set of 47 Upland cotton genotypes comprising 14 commercial varieties, 14 germplasm accessions and 19 advanced breeding lines to identify informative markers for genetic diversity assessment and fingerprinting in G. hirsutum. Only 21% (381177) of SSR markers tested showed polymorphism with a mean of 2.18 alleles per locus and with...
