Abstract excerpt
Improvement of cotton fibre yield and quality is challenging due to the narrow genetic base of modern cotton cultivars, which emphasizes the great need to effectively explore the existing germplasm resources. With major objective to assess the genetic diversity and population structure at DNA level, 302 elite upland cotton germplasm accessions (253 Chinese and 49 different exotic origins), were genotyped using...
