Cotton fibres, single-celled extensions of the seed epidermis, progress through a series of developmental stages. This review explores fibre developments' genetic and physiological components, focusing on factors that affect fibre length. An attempt has been made to summarize the evolution of cotton species, highlighting the transition from wild to cultivated types and the selection for improved fibre traits. The stages of fibre development–initiation, elongation, secondary wall synthesis and maturation, as well as the roles of specific genes and physiological determinants governing fibre length during these processes, are discussed. The prospects for improving cotton fibre length to meet the industry standards, supported by the wealth of research information generated, are also outlined.
