Abstract excerpt
The two new world tetraploid cottons, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense, are cultivated worldwide and are characterised by a high yield and superior fibre quality, respectively. Historical genetic introgression has been reported between them; however, the existence of introgression and its genetic effects on agronomic traits remain unclear with regard to independent breeding of G. hirsutum...
