  • Title: Gene effects for fibre properties in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.).
    Author: Pathak RS.
    Journal: Theor Appl Genet; 1975 Jan; 46(3):129-33. PubMed ID: 24419865.
    Abstract:
    Six populations - P1,P2,F1,F2,B1 and B2 - each of five Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) crosses were used to evaluate gene effects in the inheritance of fibre properties by Gamble's six-parameter model for the analysis of generation means. Partial dominance of long fibres over short fibres and of mature fibres over immature fibres was found in the material studied. Overdominance in gene action governed fibre fineness while additive gene action governed the fibre strength. Besides additive and dominance effects, significant epistasis was present in all crosses. These results indicate a significant potential for improving fibre properties through reciprocal recurrent selection.
