About 46.2% of nuclear DNA probes detect RFLPs distinguishing Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense; and 705 RFLP loci are assembled into 41 linkage groups and 4675 cM. The subgenomic origin (A us. D) of most, and chro- mosomal identityof 14 (of 26), linkage groups is shown. TheA and D subgenomes show similar recom- binational length, suggesting that repetitive DNA in the physically larger A subgenome is recombina- tionally inert. RFLPs are somewhat moreabundant in the D subgenome. Linkage among duplicatedRFLPs reveals 11 pairs of homoeologous chromosomal regions-two appear homosequential,most differ by in- versions, and at least one differs by a translocation. Most homoeologies involve chromosomes from different subgenomes, putatively reflecting the n = 13 to n = 26 polyploidization event of 1.1-1.9 mil- lionyears ago. Several observations suggest that another,earlier, polyploidization event spawned n = 13 cottons, at least 25 million years ago. The cotton genome contains about 400-kb DNA per cM, hence mapbased gene cloning is feasible. The cotton map affords new opportunities to study chro- mosome evolution, andto exploit Gossypium genetic resources for improvementof the world's leading natural fiber. HE genus Gossypium L. has long been a focus of raploids contain two distinct genomes, which resemble T genetic, systematic and breeding research.
