Dear All,
First, many thanks for the tremendous contributions that the departing chairs made to ICGI during the past four years. Your continuous dedication and contribution to ICGI will be expected and greatly appreciated.
Second, congratulations to all the newly elected co-chairs. We will work together to promote cotton genomics, and bring tangible benefits to the world-wide cotton growers.
Third, our 2026 Research Meeting will be held March 31-April 2, 2026 in Canberra, Australia. Hope to see you then.
Best wishes to all and our ICGI.
