Cotton Genetics

Cotton genetics involves studying and manipulating the genes that determine cotton plant traits, such as fiber quality, yield, disease resistance, and adaptability. Breeders use this knowledge to develop improved cotton varieties by selecting desirable genes through traditional breeding or modern biotechnology. Understanding cotton genetics helps enhance fiber strength, length, and color, while also making plants more resilient to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses. This scientific approach ensures sustainable production, better quality crops, and increased efficiency in cotton farming.
