Phenotyping and genetic analysis of petal colour in cotton genus. (a) Investigation of petal colour and geographic distribution in 29 diverse cotton species. The 29 species are categorized into 8 diploid chromosomal groups (A–G plus K) and the allotetraploid AD group. G. aridum (D4), G. gossypioides (D6), G. lobatum (D7), G. laxum (D9), G. schwendimanii (D11), G. sturtianum (C1), G. bickii (G1), G. australe (G2), G. nelsonii (G3), and G. rotundifolium (K2) exhibit a red petal colour. (b) Evolutionary relationships among cotton species with different petal colours. (c) Genetic analysis of the red petal by crossing G. hirsutum (ZYH) with G. hirsutum (ZM24), and G. barbadense (3–79), respectively.
