Abstract: Gossypium arboreum as a female parent had distant hybrid with Gossypium gossypioides as male parent. Artificial pollination was used to synthesize hybrid F1,and the authenticity of the F1 hybrids was verified,aiming to further doubling it into a new allotetraploid germplasm. Repeated pollination and gibberellin boll keeping measures were used to improve the boll setting rate of hybrid,and the F1 was identified by morphology and SSR molecular markers. The results showed that the F1 hybrids had typical post-zygotic reproductive isolation,and the hybrids died in the process of plant culture. Most leaf types of the F1 hybrid seedlings were amid parents and tended to resemble male parents as a whole. The results of SSR molecular markers demonstrated that the hybrid F1 not only amplified complementary bands of parents,but also new bands that parents did not have appeared. Statistical analysis revealed that the total genetic components of the hybrid F1 accounted for 45.91% of the female parents,40.98% of the male parents and 13.11% of new combination bands. The study not only proves the authenticity of hybrids at the molecular level,but also shows that AD genome interaction and genetic recombination occur along with the hybridization process.
