Abstract: Most important traits of cotton are quantitative ones. Development of modern molecular biology and technology make it impossible to map and to separate genes of quantitative traits. This paper summarizes some fields of QTL research for cotton, such as types and characteristics of population for mapping, methods of mapping, accurate mapping, cloning and utilization. Finally, the author also gives an expectation on QTL research in future.
