    Abstract Continuous artificial selection and cultivation of cultivars has led to genetic erosion and loss of useful genetic loci from the available germplasm. The objective was to evaluate diploid and tetraploid cottons cultivars with REMAP. Low genetic variability within each cultivar was observed, but a high genetic variability occurred within each species (18-68%). AMOVA test revealed 63% of total genetic variability occurred due to among species genetic difference. Unique alleles were detected in the studied species, that can be used for species discrimination. REMAPs could efficiently discriminate the studied diploid from tetraploid species and may be useful for fast screening, as genetic fingerprinting of large cotton germplasm and for planning future hybridization programs.
