Abstract: 
Salinity, as one of limited facts, largely affects the production of cotton. The triangle region of the Yellow River in Shandong province, as the one of the main cotton production provinces in China, occupies the 40% of the total cotton production areas and increases annually. The collection, exploration, screening and innovation of cotton germplasm were deeply carried out in our Center. The novel cotton varieties and materials such as salinity-tolerant, high fiber quality, wilt-resisted, Bt- gene varieties were bred in these years. The main varieties such as Lukengmian 33, Renhe 39, Lujinmian 36, Lukengmian 37, and et al, yield high in the triangle region of the Yellow River in Shandong province, which paved out the broad way of the super-high yield cotton breeding research.
