Breeding Next- Generation Naturally Colored Cotton

Use of naturally colored cotton (NCC) in the textile industry is limited due to its inferior fiber quality. Recent advances in understanding pigmentation in NCC fiber and the genetic relationship between pigmentation and fiber development may overcome this hindrance and can guide developing high fiber quality and yield NCC.

Automated summary

Understanding pigmentation and genetic relationship in NCC fibers can potentially overcome the limitations of inferior fiber quality and guide the development of high quality and high yield NCC.
