“…Upland cotton has readily acclimatized to very diverse environments giving rise to local varieties or, through selective breeding, to cultivated varieties botanically known as cultivars, but not to separate species [29]. Wendel et al [29] reported that there are seven geographical upland cotton "races", each with many local varieties.…”

“…Wendel et al [29] reported that there are seven geographical upland cotton "races", each with many local varieties. In the US alone, for example, all the upland cultivars belong to four main types: the Acala grown in the Southwest, the Delta grown in Mississippi and California, the Plains grown in Texas and Oklahoma, and the Eastern [29] grown in the Southeast.…”

“…Industrial cultivation of pima cotton accounts for between 1% to 8% of the cotton grown worldwide, now extending through parts of Asia (including China and Uzbekistan), Africa, the Middle East, South America, and the United States (eastern Carolinas and Georgia) [26,29]. While pima cotton fibres are strong, long and fine, hence ideal for superior products, its yield and resistance to pests and diseases are inferior, making the species less economically advantageous than upland cotton [25].…”

Abstract:Using the historical development of the American cottonseed value chain as a case study, we show that the factors usually deemed significant in the spontaneous development of localized industrial symbiosis (e.g., high volumes of potentially valuable yet environmentally problematic residuals, an economically diverse industrial base, as well as personal interactions and short mental distances between economic actors) have long been observed at much larger geographical scales. Like cereal grains and livestock, but unlike unprocessed residuals (e.g., residual steam and gas), the development of by-products out of cottonseed further involved numerous intermediaries and steps through which a complex raw material was broken down into various components that were then often (re)combined with other materials in remote locations. Additionally, because of the insufficient size and/or demand by domestic consumers, distant markets proved crucial at an early stage. We suggest that self-organizing and market-driven long-distance recovery linkages warrant more attention on the part of industrial symbiosis theorists, especially in terms of the technical, economic, geospatial, social and institutional conditions required for their emergence.

“…Spinnable fibers are obtained from two allotetraploid (Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbedense) and two diploid (Gossypium herbaceum and Gossypium arboreum) species and hence only these four species enjoy the status of cultivated cotton. The diploid species are popularly called as old world, or desi cotton (in India and Pakistan), while the allotetraploids species are commonly known as new world cotton (Wendel et al, 1992). The present paper is an attempt to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of G. arboreum germplasm and to discuss present status and development need of various improvement programs.…”

“…Cotton occupies a pivotal position in the world economy, and very often, it is known as 'white gold'. The term cotton is used to describe cultivated species of the genus 'Gossypium' (family Malvaceae) (Wendel et al, 1992;Wendel and Brubaker, 1993; *Corresponding author. E-mail: Psiwach29@gmail.com Dongre and Kharbikar, 2004;Esmail et al, 2008), which has 45-50 species, 40-45 being diploid (2n=2x=26) and 5 being allotetraploid (2n=4x=52).…”

The genus Gossypium has 45-50 species, of which only four (two allotetraploids and two diploids) enjoy the status of cultivated cotton. Among the four cultivated ones, Gossypium arboreum holds a special place because of the inherent ability to withstand drought, salinity and remarkable resistance to sucking pests and leaf curl virus. However, the species suffer with poor fiber quality traits, low yield and has certain undesirable plant and boll features. Improvement of fiber quality traits of G. arboreum, without disturbing its unique characteristics, has been a long sought after dream of scientists world over. For conservation, evaluation and documentation of existing accessions, gene banks of diploid cultivated cotton has been established by different countries, of which India holds the highest number of G. arboreum collections. Traditional breeding efforts made to improve fiber quality of G. arboreum have met with limited success due to paucity of polymorphic phenotypic markers and polygenic nature of the desired traits. Genetic engineering approach is highly genotype dependent and much success has not been achieved by this way also. Molecular breeding approach, based on the strength of breeding with high polymorphic nature of molecular markers, has yielded significant results in the improvement of G. arboreum. A number of molecular markers have been developed and used in various cotton improvement programs but dominantly these efforts have been made for the allotetraploid species G. hirsutum. Some efforts have been made for generating fingerprint database of G. arboreum germplasm, though much more efforts are needed in this direction. Linkage maps of G. arboreum have been generated using different markers systems which has enabled the mapping of gene/QTLs of desired traits on the chromosome of G. arboreum. More research inputs need to be devoted to produce consensus and saturated genomic maps, if the aim of 'breeding by design', by retaining suitable features and improving the undesirable ones, is to be realized for G. arboreum.
