Interpretive Summary: PD 20170048, PD 20170049, PD 20170050, PD 20170053, and PD 20170054 are noncommercial breeding lines of cotton jointly released by the Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, the Clemson University Experiment Station, and Cotton Incorporated in 2020. PD 20170048, PD 20170049, PD 20170050, PD 20170053, and PD 20170054 are breeding lines selected from a cross between an elite cultivar or germplasm line and an exotic landrace accession from Asia, Africa, or South America. Each breeding line possesses 50% exotic landrace parentage, excellent fiber quality, and excellent yield performance significantly better than several commercial cultivars. PD 20170048, PD 20170049, PD 20170050, PD 20170053, and PD 20170054 display broad adaptation in three distinct regions of the US upland cotton production region and provide cultivar development programs valuable sources of new genetic diversity.
