Gossypieae
Gossypieae is a tribe of the flowering plant subfamily Malvoideae. It includes the cotton (''Gossypium'') and related plants. It is distinguished from the Hibisceae on the basis of embryo structure and its apparently unique possession of glands able to synthesize the pigment gossypol.

Malvoideae
Malvoideae is a botanical name at the rank of subfamily, which includes in the minimum the genus '' Malva''. It was first used by Burnett in 1835, but was not much used until recently, where, within the framework of the APG System, which unites the families Malvaceae, Bombacaceae, Sterculiaceae and Tiliaceae of the Cronquist system, the aggregate family Malvaceae is divided into 9 subfamilies, including Malvoideae. The Malvoideae of Kubitzki and Bayer includes 4 tribes: * Malveae ('' Abutilon, Alcea, Malva, Sidalcea'' etc.) * Gossypieae ('' Gossypium'', the cottons etc.) *Hibisceae (''Hibiscus'' etc.) * Kydieae *- and two unplaced genera:- **''Jumelleanthus'' **'' Howittia'' The genus '' Alyogyne'' was once included in the genus ''Hibiscus'' but is not included there anymore. It is not placed in the Hibisceae either and some resources, such as the GRIN include it in the Gossypieae. The GRIN also excludes '' Thepparatia'' from the Gossypieae.

Gossypium
''Gossypium'' () is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Gossypieae of the mallow family, Malvaceae, from which cotton is harvested. It is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Old and New Worlds. There are about 50 ''Gossypium'' species, making it the largest genus in the tribe Gossypieae, and new species continue to be discovered. The name of the genus is derived from the Arabic word ''goz'', which refers to a soft substance. Cotton is the primary natural fibre used by humans today, amounting to about 80% of world natural fibre production. Where cotton is cultivated, it is a major oilseed crop and a main protein source for animal feed. Cotton is thus of great importance for agriculture, industry and trade, especially for tropical and subtropical countries in Africa, South America and Asia. Consequently, the genus ''Gossypium'' has long attracted the attention of scientists. The origin of the genus ''Gossypium'' is dated to around 5–10 million years ...

Lebronnecia
''Lebronnecia'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae. The sole species is ''Lebronnecia kokioides'', a very rare flowering shrub. Distribution Only a few hundred specimens are known to exist. The plant was first described in 1966, after a single tree with a few seedlings was discovered on Tahuata, an island in the Marquesas group of French Polynesia that had been severely deforested by livestock: cattle, goats, horses, and pigs. Further specimens were later found on the nearby island of Mohotani, uninhabited by humans, but similarly deforested by sheep, who seem to avoid eating the plant. It is now being cultivated in Hawaii Hawaii ( ; haw, Hawaii or ) is a state in the Western United States, located in the Pacific Ocean about from the U.S. mainland.

Alyogyne
''Alyogyne'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae which are endemic to Australia. Its species were formerly in the genus ''Hibiscus'' but were split off starting in 1863 with ''H. hakaeifolius''. In 1915 Lewton transferred ''H. cuneiformis'' and in Fryxell (1968) ''H. pinonianus'' and ''H. huegelii'' followed. A recent revision has created many new species. The name ''Alyogyne'' comes from the Greek words "alytos" (undivided) and "gyne" (female). "Gyne" referers to the styles which are female parts of a flower. In ''Hibiscus'', the style is branched below the stigmas but in ''Alyogyne'' it is undivided. Species include: *''Alyogyne cravenii'' *''Alyogyne cuneiformis'' (coastal hibiscus) *''Alyogyne hakeifolia'' *''Alyogyne huegelii'' (lilac hibiscus) *''Alyogyne pinoniana ''Alyogyne'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae which are endemic to Australia.

Gossypium Hirsutum
''Gossypium hirsutum'', also known as upland cotton or Mexican cotton, is the most widely planted species of cotton in the world. Globally, about 90% of all cotton production is of cultivars derived from this species. In the United States, the world's largest exporter of cotton, it constitutes approximately 95% of all cotton production. It is native to Mexico, the West Indies, northern South America, Central America and possibly tropical Florida. Archeological evidence from the Tehuacan Valley in Mexico shows the cultivation of this species as long ago as 3,500 BC, although there is as yet no evidence as to exactly where it may have been first domesticated. This is the earliest evidence of cotton cultivation in the Americas found thus far. ''Gossypium hirsutum'' includes a number of varieties or cross-bred cultivars with varying fiber lengths and tolerances to a number of growing conditions. The longer length varieties are called "long staple upland" and the shorter length varie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
