Genetics, cytology and evolution of Gossypium.

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter presents a comprehensive review of the published information on cytology, genetics, and evolution Gossypium . In addition, it recent data genome organization with which hypothesis is proposed for origin allotetraploid species that different from generally assumed. The genus consists 35 diploid are divided into seven groups six species, each same two subgenomes. relationships also discussed in chapter. Moreover, advent new technology genetic engineering its potential improving commercial cottons by inter- intra- genomic transfer desirable segments, basic analyses should have even greater application future. successful greatly enhanced availability fundamental knowledge chromosomes gained through classical cytogenetic approaches. Thus, to utilize full technology, utmost importance approaches analysis cotton be augmented.
