Genomic and Cytogenetic Analysis of Synthetic Polyploids between Diploid and Tetraploid Cotton (Gossypium) Species.

ABSTRACT: Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important natural fiber source in the world. The genetic potential of cotton can be successfully and efficiently exploited by identifying and solving the complex fundamental problems of systematics, evolution, and phylogeny, based on interspecific hybridization of cotton. This study describes the results of interspecific hybridization of G. herbaceum L. (A₁-genome) and G. mustelinum Miers ex Watt (AD₄-genome) species, obtaining fertile hybrids through synthetic polyploidization of otherwise sterile triploid forms with colchicine (C₂₂H₂₅NO₆) treatment. The fertile F₁C hybrids were produced from five different cross combinations: (1) G. herbaceum subsp. frutesc
