摘要: The cultivated Gossypium spp. (cotton) represents the single most important, natural fi ber crop in world. In addition to its ber, oil and protein portion of cottonseed also signifi cant economic value. To protect worldwide value cotton byproducts, coordinated efforts collect maintain genetic resources have increased over last 100 yr. classifi ed are extensive include ve tetraploid species primary gene pool, 20 diploid secondary 25 tertiary pool.
