Abstract
Genetic improvement of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fiber quality is essential to meet demands of textile manufacturers and the international market while also increasing competitiveness with synthetic fibers. In this chapter, the current state of cotton fiber improvement through advances in breeding and biotechnology is described. In an effort to offer a future prospective of cotton fiber improvement, contemporary and emerging technologies for cotton fiber improvement are discussed.
