Cotton roots are the major source of gossypol biosynthesis and accumulation [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Background Gossypol is a specific secondary metabolite in Gossypium species. It not only plays a critical role in development and self-protection of cotton plants, but also can be used as important anti-cancer and male contraceptive compound.
