Cotton Fiber Genetics: Improving Yield, Quality, Resilience
Received Date: Jul 01, 2025 / Published Date: Jul 29, 2025
Abstract
Modern cotton fiber genetics research utilizes advanced genomic tools to precisely identify and manipulate genes influencing fiber development, quality, and stress tolerance. Key methodologies include genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping for trait discovery, alongside gene editing techniques for targeted improvement. Efforts are focused on enhancing fiber length, strength, and micronaire, while also addressing abiotic stress responses and fiber color genetics. Markerassisted selection (MAS) and genomic selection (GS) are pivotal in accelerating breeding programs, aiming to develop superior cotton cultivars with improved yield and desirable fiber characteristics for agricultural sustainability and the textile industry
