Abstract
The genus Gossypium is favourable material for the recovery and study of aneuploids, as it includes allotetraploids which readily tolerate duplications and deficiencies, and a series of diploids which can be combined with tetraploids to make allohexaploids. The latter provide a further source of aneuploids, especially trisomics involving diploid genomes with different degrees of relationship to G. hirsutum. Single and multiple monosomics, trisomies and tetrasomics have been derived from G. hirsutum and its hybrids with the diploid species (Beasley and Brown, 1943; Brown, 1949). The salient features of these types will be described as a means of elucidating chromosome differentiation in Gossypium species and in G. hirsutum in particular.
