METHODS FOR GENETIC ANALYSIS OF TEXTILES MADE OF GOSSYPIUM BARBADENSE AND GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM COTTON

摘要

Methods for distinguishing between cotton species by analyzing a sample of mature cotton fibers from raw cotton materials or from textile goods are disclosed. DNA is extracted from the mature cotton fiber sample and subjected to PCR techniques which enable the identification of the species of cotton utilized in the textile or cotton material of interest.
