The invention discloses a breeding method of a drought-resistant
machine-harvested cotton variety. The breeding method comprises the following steps: step A1, hybridizing multiple parents; the method comprises the following steps: constructing a basic
hybrid combination by taking a cotton line with strong
drought resistance as a female parent and a cotton line with outstanding mechanical-harvest character as a male parent, introducing a wild cotton
germplasm and a high-quality
fiber cotton
germplasm as innovative parents, and polymerizing drought-resistant, mechanical-harvest-suitable, high-quality
fiber and stress-resistant related genes through composite hybridization by combining distant hybridization with an
embryo rescue technology to obtain F1-generation seeds; the invention relates to the technical field of cotton breeding. According to the breeding method for the drought-resistant
machine-harvested cotton variety, parent combinations are scientifically configured, a stable drought-resistant line and a
machine-harvested line are used for constructing a basic
hybrid combination, meanwhile, a wild cotton stress-resistant
germplasm and a high-quality
fiber cotton germplasm are introduced, and a
quaternary composite hybridization and special
embryo rescue technology is innovatively adopted; the
seedling rate of the distant hybridization
embryo of the wild cotton is increased to 60% or above, and the problem of
abortion of the distant hybridization embryo is effectively solved.
