以加速抗病育种工作进程，提高育种工作成效为目的，综述了棉花黄萎病菌致病性。棉花对黄萎病抗病性以及抗病育种工作取得的研究进展；认为黄萎病抗源严重短缺和抗性遗传规律不清是抗病育种工作的关键问题。并就有关问题的进一步深入研究进行了探讨 In order to accelerate the progress of disease-resistant breeding and improve the effectiveness of breeding, the pathogenicity of Verticillium dahliae was reviewed. The research progress on the disease resistance of cotton to Verticillium wilt and the progress made in the breeding of the disease resistance. It is considered that the serious shortage of resistance to Verticillium wilt and the unclear genetic law of resistance are the key problems in the breeding of disease resistance. And discussed further the relevant issues in-depth study
