Key Findings
- The study focused on the fiber quality of Gossypium barbadense var. brasiliensis in native Amazonian communities of La Convención, Cusco, Perú
- Researchers found that this cotton variety has medium-length fibers with high strength and elongation, making it suitable for durable textiles
- The study's findings can inform breeding programs to develop high-quality, resilient cotton varieties adapted to the Amazonian environment
