The invention relates to the technical field of cotton breeding, in particular to a grass-resistant cotton backcross breeding method by utilizing EPSPS, which comprises the following steps: S1, carrying out chemical
emasculation treatment on a grass-resistant cotton P1
plant to obtain the emasculated grass-resistant cotton P1
plant; hybridizing by taking the emasculated grass-resistant cotton P1
plant as a female parent and a recurrent parent P2 plant as a male parent to obtain a
hybrid F1 plant; s2, performing chemical
emasculation treatment on the obtained
hybrid F1 plant to obtain the emasculated
hybrid F1 plant; taking a hybridized hybrid F1 plant as a female parent, taking a recurrent parent P2 plant as a male parent, and performing backcross to obtain a backcross seed BC1 plant; s3, continuously
backcrossing for at least one time according to the
backcrossing method in the step S2 to obtain a
backcrossing seed BCn plant; s4, selecting plants from the backcross BCn plants obtained by the last backcross in the step S3,
selfing for 2-3 generations, and then breeding to finish backcross breeding. The breeding method provided by the invention is high in efficiency, high in sterile plant rate and high in hybrid combination yield, and can realize bidirectional selection and simultaneously
breed grass-resistant and non-grass-resistant plants.
