摘要

Cotton fibre plays a crucial role in yarn-based industries. With advancements in spinning technologies and the growing need for better quality fibre, attempts are being made for continuous production of superior fibre without compromising the yield. Cultivated cotton germplasms have lost their superior fibre quality traits during the process of domestication. It is imperative to understand the different traits possessed by various wild germplasms for their introgression through conventional and molecular breeding technologies to transfer superior fibre quality traits into the cultivated cotton. This review covers the exploitation of cotton wild relatives for introgression of genes for fibre quality into cultivated germplasm.
