由于棉花品种改良的需要,野生棉已用作补充陆地棉缺少的或不足的性状的资源。例如异常棉是一个无纤维的非洲野生种,它提供了一个第二类胞质雄性不育的胞质。瑟伯氏棉是一个无纤维的二倍体野生种,它是某些三交杂种的亲本之一,是近年育成新品种增加纤维强度的资源。但是野生棉从生长 Wild cotton has been used as a resource to supplement the missing or insufficient traits of upland cotton due to the need for improved cotton varieties. For example, anomalous cotton is a fiber-free African wild species that provides a second cytoplasmic male sterile cytoplasm. Cerberus cotton is a fiber-free diploid wild species that is one of the three crossbred parents and is a resource that has been bred in recent years to increase fiber strength. But wild cotton grows from it
