Several research areas will be reported on briefly, including ongoing improvement of the cotton molecular map, new progress in studying levels and patterns of variation among cotton genotypes, new sets of QTLs conferring agriculturally important adaptations (especially with regard to preserving yield and quality under water deficit), development of a BAC library for the small diploid G. raimondii, new exotic introgression efforts underway, and studies of transmission genetics in interspecific crosses.
