D.  aMarker-assisted selection for disease resistance in Brazilian Cotton Germplasm.h[electronic resource]  c2022  aOriginated from Mexico semi-arid highlands of, upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) accounts for more than 90% of world cotton fiber production. Intensively cultivated in Brazilian Cerrado since the early 1980s, the upland cotton faces a wet and warm environment that favors the development of several pathogens (fungal, bacteria, viruses and nematodes). Disease resistance is an important trait in public and commercial plant breeding. Embrapa´s cotton breeding program focus on developing high-yielding cotton cultivars with superior fiber quality with resistance to the main diseases and adapted to the Brazilian cerrado. Appling marker-assisted selection (MAS), in the last 10 years, several cotton cultivars have been developed and released with resistance to bacterial blight (BB), cotton blue disease (CBD) and ramularia leaf spot (RLS). In upcoming years, cultivars with simultaneous resistance to BB, CBD, RLS, and Root-knot nematode will be released.  aCotton  aFungal diseases of plants  aFungus physiology  aGenetic resistance  aPlant pathology  aRamularia  aAlgodão  aDoença Fúngica  aGossypium Hirsutum  aMarcador Molecular  aResistência Genética  aCotton blue disease  aMolecular marker1 aMORELLO, C. de L.1 aMAGALHÃES, F.
