The upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) accounts for about 95% of world cotton production. Improving upland cotton cultivars has been the focus of worldwide cotton breeding programs. In cotton, seed cotton yield, yield contributing and fibre quality traits are under the control of polygenes or quantitative trait locus (QTL), for these traits QTL analysis holds a great promises these are the genomic regions that links the information between phenotypic (trait measurement) and genetic data (molecular markers) and explain the genetic basis of variation in complex traits. |
