natural colored cotton, flavonoid, cellulose, GhF3H, hormones, quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysisAbstract
This article analyzes recent research on fiber quality and pigmentation in colored cotton (G. hirsutum L.) samples. The studies provide information about the biochemical characteristics of colored fiber, particularly pigment biosynthesis and its importance in producing high-quality fibers. Special attention is given to the role of bioactive metabolites (such as flavonoids and anthocyanins) affecting color inheritance in colored fibers, strategies used to improve fiber quality, and the outcomes of genetic selection.
