The Gossypiae tribe, distinguished from other Malvaceae : The embryo, wood
and seed coat anatomy, and by the presence of the punctae or lysigenous
cavities (“gossypol glands”) that are widely distributed throughout the
plant body
Gossypium : An undivided style, coriacious capsule containing several seeds
per locule, a somatic chromosome number of 26, and the presence of
three foliaceous involucellar bracts subtending each flower
Plant habit: Fire-adapted, herbaceous perennials in northwest Australia to
small trees in southwest Mexico that “escape” the dry season by dropping
their leaves.
Corolla colors: rainbow of mauves and pinks, whites and pale yellows and
even a deep sulphur-yellow
Seed: Nearly glabrous to short, stiff, dense brown hairs that aid in wind-
dispersal to long, fine white fibers that characterize highly improved forms
of the four cultivated species. Seeds that produce fat bodies to facilitate
ant-dispersal
Gossypioides – Kokia represents the example of long-distance salt-water
dispersal in the tribe

History and Evolution
The oldest Malvacean pollen is from the Eocene (38 – 45 million years before present -
mybp) in South America and Australia and from the Oligocene (25 - 38 mybp) in Africa
It suggests that the Malvaceae originated during the first third of the Tertiary (65-2.6
mya) and that by approximately 30 mybp it had achieved a world-wide distribution
(Seelanan et. al. 1997)
Fig. 2: Phylogenetic relationships in the cotton tribe
(Gossypiae) as inferred from molecular sequence data
The tribe Gossipiae is approximately
20 million years old
The Lebronnecia/Hampea/Thespesia
separated approximately 15 mybp.
Gossypium is inferred to have
branched off from its closest relatives
(Kokia and Gossypioides)
approximately 12.5 mybp
Successful grafts could be made
between Kokia rockii and Gossypioides
kirkii

Fig. 3: Evolutionary History of Gossypium, as inferred from multiple molecular
phylogenetic data sets.
Genus Gossypium is differentiated
cytogenetically into eight ‘‘genome
groups’’ (designated ‘‘A’’ through ‘‘G’’,
and ‘‘K’’)
They differ in DNA content and
chromosome size but not in chromosome
numbers
Three lineages of diploid species are
recognized; the African/Arabian, the
Australian and the American

Hutchinson et al. (1947), indicated that allopolyploid cotton first formed in
agricultural times, perhaps within the last six millennia, following
human-mediated intercontinental transfer of a cultivated A-genome
diploid.
Endrizzi et al. (1989) argued for a probable Miocene origin (5–18 mya), based on
thermal stability measurements in inter-specific DNA hybridization
experiments.
Phillips (1963), indicated that polyploid cotton originated “in geologically
recent times, probably since the start of the Pleistocene (0-5 mya).”
According to the hypothesis, hybridization and polyploidization took place
prior to the separation of the parental A- and D-genome lineages,
which subsequently drifted apart as a consequence of plate tectonic
movements. Under this scenario, then, allopolyploids originated prior
to the rifting of the South American and African continents, in the
Cretaceous (65 mya) or perhaps the early Tertiary (2.5-65 mya).
ORIGIN OF THE ALLOPOLYPLOIDS
TIME OF FORMATION
21
PARENTAGE OF THE ALLOPOLYPLOIDS
Stephens (1944), compared allometric patterns of leaf development in intergenomic
hybrids and stated that “either (G. klotzschianum, its close relative G. davidsonii, or
G. raimondii) in combination with G. arboreum would produce a hybrid showing
considerable similarity to present-day New World cottons.”
Hutchinson et al. (1945) indicated G. raimondii as the D-genome donor on
comparative analyses of morphological traits in synthetic A x D amphiploids, and
from observations of lint characteristics and vigor of intergenomic hybrids
Fryxell (1965), indicated G. raimondii as the D-genome donor based on observations
of the lint characteristics of diploid and wild polyploid species.
Hutchinson et al. (1947) reported on the basis of multivalent frequencies in
synthetic allopolyploid x D-genome that the G. raimondii as closer to the D-genome
than the other species tested.
Gerstel (1958), studied multivalent frequencies in hexaploids involving both of the
two extant A-genome species (G. arboreum and G. herbaceum ) to argue that G.
herbaceum was more closely related to the A-genome of the natural allopolyploids.
All allopolyploids contain an Old World (A genome) chloroplast genome, indicating
that the seed parent in the initial hybridization event was an African or Asian A-
genome taxon.
Genomes of the only two A-genome species, G. arboreum and G. herbaceum, differ
from the A sub-genome of allopolyploid cotton by three and two reciprocal
chromosomal arm translocations, respectively suggesting that G. herbaceum more
closely resembles the A-genome donor than G. arboreum. 22

C.S.-5 : Comparative genetic mapping of allotetraploid cotton and its diploid
progenitors
Comparative RFLP mapping was used to construct genetic maps for the
allotetraploids (AD genome; n = 26) and diploids (A and D genomes; n = 13)
Polyploidization in Gossypium is associated with enhanced
recombination, as genetic lengths for allotetraploid genomes are over
50% greater than those of their diploid counterparts.

Evolution of Fiber Under DomesticationEvolution of Fiber Under Domestication
Pre-adapted A-genome ancestor later
contributed this genome and its
propensity to allotetraploid cotton that
colonized and diversified in the new
world cotton
The origin of spinnable fibers is occurred
once in the history of Gossypium,
following the divergence of the
A- genome and F-genome clades
Fig. 8. Evolution of Fiber Under Domestication
Gossypium spp were independently
domesticated by aboriginal
domesticators about 5000 yrs ago, or
more, and transformed into fiber and
seed oil plants
51
Human selection over 5 millennia transformed
G. hirsutum into;
Rangy high yielding
Perennial shrub with a
poorly synchronized
fruit set
annualize row-crop
with a heavy fruit set
Photoperiod sensitivity photoperiod
insensitivity
Small seeds that
required scarification
for germination in vitro
seeds that germinate
readily upon planting
At the same time, fibers become longer, stronger
and finer
Domestication led a fine-tuning of the reactive oxygen species which thereby
lead up-regulation of signal transduction and hormone signaling genes and
down –regulation of cell wall maturation genes

ConclusionConclusion
• Cotton distinguished from other Malvaceae species by having the
gossypol glands.
• Gossypium and their nearest relatives (Gossypoides and Kokia)
diverged from their common ancestors about 13.4 MYA.
• Divergence of A and D genomes from their parental lineages
occurred about 6 to 8 MYA.
• Allotetraploid cottons evolved approximately 1.1 to 1.9 MYA as a
result of hybridization between their diploid ancestors followed
by polyploidization events.
• The maternal parent (progenitor) involved in the evolution of
allotetraploids was ‘A’ genome donor (i.e. similar to the present
day old world cottons), also confirmed through mitochondrial and
diploid genome.
Cont…
• Origin of the spinable fiber occurred once in the history of
Gossypium in A genome; these traits and major fiber
quality related traits from the D genome were later
contributed to allotetraploid cotton.
• Domestication has made fiber longer, stronger and finer.
• Great variability exits in the genus which has been
successfully exploited by introgression breeding. These
introgressions led to considerable improvement in
productivity, fiber quality and biotic and abiotic stress
resistance.

Future Prospects
• Understanding the relationships among species and their
evolutionary development will continue to provide insights into the
biology of cotton which in turn will increase the effectiveness of
improvement efforts.
• The wild species of cotton, consequently, represent an ample
genetic repository for exploitation. Although these wild species
remain a largely untapped genetic resource, examples abound of
their productive inclusion in breeding programs.
• Sequenced cotton genomes will ultimately stimulate fundamental
research on genome evolution.
• Transgenic cottons have been proven as one of the successful crops
for large scale cultivation. Thus, the fate of the transgenic cottons
should be further considered from the evolution point of view.
• The genes can be incorporated from the wild species to cultivated
cottons by Cisgenic approach, especially for fiber quality as well as
pests and disease resistance.

  • 8. 8 History and Evolution The oldest Malvacean pollen is from the Eocene (38 – 45 million years before present - mybp) in South America and Australia and from the Oligocene (25 - 38 mybp) in Africa It suggests that the Malvaceae originated during the first third of the Tertiary (65-2.6 mya) and that by approximately 30 mybp it had achieved a world-wide distribution (Seelanan et. al. 1997) Fig. 2: Phylogenetic relationships in the cotton tribe (Gossypiae) as inferred from molecular sequence data The tribe Gossipiae is approximately 20 million years old The Lebronnecia/Hampea/Thespesia separated approximately 15 mybp. Gossypium is inferred to have branched off from its closest relatives (Kokia and Gossypioides) approximately 12.5 mybp Successful grafts could be made between Kokia rockii and Gossypioides kirkii

  • 21. Hutchinson et al. (1947), indicated that allopolyploid cotton first formed in agricultural times, perhaps within the last six millennia, following human-mediated intercontinental transfer of a cultivated A-genome diploid. Endrizzi et al. (1989) argued for a probable Miocene origin (5–18 mya), based on thermal stability measurements in inter-specific DNA hybridization experiments. Phillips (1963), indicated that polyploid cotton originated “in geologically recent times, probably since the start of the Pleistocene (0-5 mya).” According to the hypothesis, hybridization and polyploidization took place prior to the separation of the parental A- and D-genome lineages, which subsequently drifted apart as a consequence of plate tectonic movements. Under this scenario, then, allopolyploids originated prior to the rifting of the South American and African continents, in the Cretaceous (65 mya) or perhaps the early Tertiary (2.5-65 mya). ORIGIN OF THE ALLOPOLYPLOIDS TIME OF FORMATION 21
  • 22. PARENTAGE OF THE ALLOPOLYPLOIDS Stephens (1944), compared allometric patterns of leaf development in intergenomic hybrids and stated that “either (G. klotzschianum, its close relative G. davidsonii, or G. raimondii) in combination with G. arboreum would produce a hybrid showing considerable similarity to present-day New World cottons.” Hutchinson et al. (1945) indicated G. raimondii as the D-genome donor on comparative analyses of morphological traits in synthetic A x D amphiploids, and from observations of lint characteristics and vigor of intergenomic hybrids Fryxell (1965), indicated G. raimondii as the D-genome donor based on observations of the lint characteristics of diploid and wild polyploid species. Hutchinson et al. (1947) reported on the basis of multivalent frequencies in synthetic allopolyploid x D-genome that the G. raimondii as closer to the D-genome than the other species tested. Gerstel (1958), studied multivalent frequencies in hexaploids involving both of the two extant A-genome species (G. arboreum and G. herbaceum ) to argue that G. herbaceum was more closely related to the A-genome of the natural allopolyploids. All allopolyploids contain an Old World (A genome) chloroplast genome, indicating that the seed parent in the initial hybridization event was an African or Asian A- genome taxon. Genomes of the only two A-genome species, G. arboreum and G. herbaceum, differ from the A sub-genome of allopolyploid cotton by three and two reciprocal chromosomal arm translocations, respectively suggesting that G. herbaceum more closely resembles the A-genome donor than G. arboreum. 22

  • 61. 61 ConclusionConclusion • Cotton distinguished from other Malvaceae species by having the gossypol glands. • Gossypium and their nearest relatives (Gossypoides and Kokia) diverged from their common ancestors about 13.4 MYA. • Divergence of A and D genomes from their parental lineages occurred about 6 to 8 MYA. • Allotetraploid cottons evolved approximately 1.1 to 1.9 MYA as a result of hybridization between their diploid ancestors followed by polyploidization events. • The maternal parent (progenitor) involved in the evolution of allotetraploids was ‘A’ genome donor (i.e. similar to the present day old world cottons), also confirmed through mitochondrial and diploid genome. Cont…
  • 62. • Origin of the spinable fiber occurred once in the history of Gossypium in A genome; these traits and major fiber quality related traits from the D genome were later contributed to allotetraploid cotton. • Domestication has made fiber longer, stronger and finer. • Great variability exits in the genus which has been successfully exploited by introgression breeding. These introgressions led to considerable improvement in productivity, fiber quality and biotic and abiotic stress resistance. Cont… 62

  • 65. 65 Future Prospects • Understanding the relationships among species and their evolutionary development will continue to provide insights into the biology of cotton which in turn will increase the effectiveness of improvement efforts. • The wild species of cotton, consequently, represent an ample genetic repository for exploitation. Although these wild species remain a largely untapped genetic resource, examples abound of their productive inclusion in breeding programs. • Sequenced cotton genomes will ultimately stimulate fundamental research on genome evolution. • Transgenic cottons have been proven as one of the successful crops for large scale cultivation. Thus, the fate of the transgenic cottons should be further considered from the evolution point of view. • The genes can be incorporated from the wild species to cultivated cottons by Cisgenic approach, especially for fiber quality as well as pests and disease resistance.
