1. A method for identifying cotton species comprising:
- collecting one or more mature cotton fibers from a sample;
extracting genomic DNA from the mature cotton fibers collected, wherein the genomic DNA extracted from the mature cotton fibers comprises chloroplast DNA;
amplifying said chloroplast DNA with a PCR-based technique producing one or more amplified products; and
analyzing the one or more amplified products to distinguish between a first cotton species and a second cotton species by detecting a length polymorphism.
