Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is one of the most important industrial crops in the world, providing natural fiber, edible oil, and protein-rich byproducts. Understanding its biological characteristics and varietal diversity is critical for improving yield, fiber quality, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. This study reviews the biological features of cotton, its growth stages, genetic diversity, and the main characteristics of popular varieties cultivated in Uzbekistan and other cotton-producing countries.
