Improving of Intraspecific Polymorphism
Potential of Species Gossypium L. genus and
Revealing of Opportunities of Their Practical
Use
Head of the Project:
Academician Abdullaev Abdumavlon Abdullaevich
THE PROJECT PURPOSE :
• Development of intraspecific classification of polymorphic species of
genus Gossypium L. (G.hirsutum L. and G.arboreum L.), studying
morphogenesis process, character of variability and inheritance of
separate economic valuable traits at hybrids of the first both the
subsequent generations and development on their basis of new
perspective forms and sources of such valuable traits as earliness, high
productivity and fiber quality, adaptable potential of resistant to
diseases and pests.
T H E P R O J E C T TA S K S :
• For improvement existing and development of new highly productive and
in a complex resistant cultivars use of a valuable germplasm of wild,
ruderal and cultural-tropical forms of polymorphic species of genus
Gossypium L is necessary.
• The primary goal of the project is studying and decision of questions at
issue of differential intraspecific classification of polymorphic
representatives of genus Gossypium L. (G.hirsutum L., G.arboreum L.), and
also definition of their phylogenetic relations intra- and interspecific
categories and connection of these parameters with efficiency of use in a
breeding practice.
• Revealing biological and an economic value of separate representatives
and an opportunity of successful involving in breeding programs yet not
used germplasm sources on the basis of intra- and interspecific
hybridization, experimental polyploidy.

FROM THE PROJECT :
• The actual material received a result of research, will be used for the
decision of questions at issue of systematization and introduction,
genetics and breeding, considerably will expand an arsenal of
knowledge of an intraspecific biodiversity of representatives of species
G.arboreum L. and G.hirsutum L., that will facilitate development of
methods of involving valuable germplasm of wild-growing forms in a
genome of cultivated ones.
• The received perspective forms will enrich the cotton genepool with
new synthetic genetic resources and will be of interest not only for
domestic, but also foreign geneticists and breeders.
PROSPECTIVE ACTIONS OF THE PROJECT :
• Selection of an initial material, organization of laboratory and field
experiences, work on intra- and interspecific hybridization, reception
of hybrid materials. Studying and an estimation morphobiological and
economic valuable traits of initial and hybrid forms.
• Studying morphogenesis process, character of variability and
inheritance separate morphobiological and economic valuable traits at
hybrids of the first and the subsequent generations.
• Representation of the annual scientific report and the publication of
joint scientific articles by results of research.
