Abstract: In recent years, along with the application and development of molecular biology techniques, we have got new knowledge of cotton chloroplast genome. In this review, we introduce the research progresses of gene map of the Gossypium hirsutum chloroplast genome. It mainly focused on the mapping of cotton chloroplast genome, the cloning and functional analyzing of protein-coding genes, RNA editing and transformation in chloroplast of cotton. More over, the prospect of application in further study in cotton was also discussed.
Key words: cotton; chloroplast genome; RNA editing; chloroplast transformation
