TO P I C A L I T Y O F R E S E A R C H :
• For intensive development of agriculture of the republic development
and introduction in an agricultural production of new high-quality
cultivars of different agricultural crops is necessary.
• Their constant perfection assortment is the keystone to success. It is
closely connected with an initial material for breeding and
consequently enrichment of a genetic basis of an initial material is the
most important and effective for removing new cultivars of intensive
type.
• The new initial material is necessary for breeding: early, high-yielding,
with high adaptable potential of to stabile to environment factors,
resistant to diseases and pests, with high fiber technological qualities.
TO P I C A L I T Y O F R E S E A R C H :
• The constant requirement of a new initial material causes necessity of
regular enrichment of a cotton genepool new samples by the way of
exchange, introduction, and also by development of synthetic forms.
The source of an initial material for genetic and breeding research is
the cotton genepool collected in world collection of IGPEB AS RUz.
• Unique cotton genepool of IGPEB AS RUz consist of more than 7 500
accessions and includes wild, cultivated species and synthetic forms.
• The project is directed on mobilization of plant genetic resources for
their use in agriculture for enrichment of a genetic basis of an selected
initial material for breeding, on the decision of a complex of the
interconnected problems on a cotton genepool.
PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT:
• Studying of adaptable opportunities of the cotton genepool,
estimation and selection of new perspective initial materials for
genetic and breeding research and transfer to their breeders, and
also a germplasm exchange between research institutes.
TA S K S O F T H E P R O J E C T :
• Studying and ecological and geographical estimation and of world
cotton genepool diversity with the purpose of the search of
morphological, biological and economically valuable traits and
sources and definition of their significance breeding.
• Selection and transmission of sources of traits and properties for
subsequent transfer research institutions for use in research programs
as the initial material.
• Cotton germplasm exchange with research institutions with purpose
of enrichment and conservation the genepool for future generations.

FROM THE PROJECT :
• Practical use in production will be found with results of research by a
complex estimation of a cotton genepool and revealing of sources of
valuable economic traits.
• On their basis new cultivars answered the requirements of agricultural
production, possessing by earliness, high productivity, resistant to
diseases and pests, stressful factors of environment, with high fiber
technological parameters and with wide adaptable opportunities will
be developed.
PROSPECTIVE ACTIONS OF THE PROJECT :
• Complex studying and all-round estimation of collection accessions of
cotton genepool will be carried out.
• On the basis of a complex estimation of a genepool sources of
economic-valuable traits for use as an initial material for breeding new
early, high-yielding, with high fiber quality of cotton cultivars
possessing resistant to diseases and pests, drought, salinity and heats
will be selected and passed to breeders.
• Also under requests of research institutions valuable sources of
economic-valuable traits and properties for carrying out of
experimental research will be passed. Joint scientific articles will be
published.
