Use of Cloning and Transgene Technology to Breed Colored Cotton Seeds

At present, Xinjiang Natural Color Cotton Research Institute has obtained the fibrosis seeds of the newly-expressed red, blue and black colored cotton new lines through genetic and cloning techniques. It is reported that since 2002, Xinjiang China Coloured Cotton Co., Ltd., Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Agricultural University and many other research institutes have carried out the transduction of color cotton pigment genes in Hainan Island. Researchers obtained several grains of red, blue, and black fiber seeds that are currently expressed in tens of thousands of transduced flower bells. At present, these three strains still have the problem of uneven pigment expression and inability to inherit offspring. After this difficult problem is resolved, our colorful cotton line will be more colorful. Natural colored cotton is a kind of cotton that has brown, green and other colors when boll opening, using modern biological engineering techniques such as hybridization and gene transduction. It can eliminate complicated printing and dyeing processes by using its spinning woven fabrics. The cost of production reduces the harmful effects of chemicals on the human body. Since the 1960s, some countries have successively carried out the breeding of colored cotton varieties. Currently, there are only two basic types of colored cotton planted in the world, namely brown and green. According to different degrees of shade, the brown cotton is divided into brown, pink, brown, yellow and light yellow, and the green cotton is divided into blue. Color, light blue, light gray, beige and so on.
