The history of cotton cultivation is at least 3000 yr old. There are four cultivated cotton species, two diploid species and two tetraploid species. In this chapter, the origin and history of these four species as a crop were discussed based on theoretical consideration and archaeological evidence. Domestication of wild tetraploid cotton as an annual day-neutral crop was a big step toward cotton agriculture. Spread of cotton to the United States and its wide cultivation in this country facilitated cotton becoming a world crop. Technology advancements in cultivation, ginning, and spinning solidified the important role of cotton in the world economy. New technologies such as transgenic varieties are revolutionizing the cotton industry. This chapter provides a historical view of how cotton has become as a world crop.}, journal={COTTON, 2ND EDITION}, author={Lee, Joshua A. and Fang, David D.}, year={2015}, pages={1–23} }
