Objective:
To characterize, evaluate, and maintain cotton germplasm and to integrate data into the GRIN and CottonDB databases.

Approach:
Germplasm data will be recorded as part of the GRIN and CottonDB database system. Accessions will be characterized by DNA molecular marker profiles to establish relationships among exotic and cultivated cotton cultivars. Germplasm accessions will be increased in the winter nursery in Mexico for distribution to the user community.
