TLDR
Four upland cotton varieties were genetically analysed for gene action controlling the phenotypic expression of seed-cotton yield and its related traits and positive type of gene action with partial dominance was observed for boll number/plant, boll weight, seed- c cotton yield and seed index.
Abstract
Four upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) varieties were genetically analysed for gene action controlling the phenotypic expression of seed-cotton yield and its related traits. Additive type of gene action with partial dominance was observed for boll number/plant, boll weight, seed-cotton yield and seed index. Epistatic effects were also Involved in the expression of all the characters except boll weight.

Inheritance pattern of seed and lint traits in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum).

TL;DR: The genetic analysis suggested that number of seeds per boll, GOT and lint index could be upgraded through full-or half-sib family, pedigree and progeny selection, while exploitation of hybrid vigour would probably be the way to achieve the genetic progress in seed weight per bolls, seed index and lints yield.

Genetic effects on morphological and yield traits in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.).

TL;DR: An additive-dominance model was adequate for most of the traits except plant height and seed cotton yield, where the model was partially adequate, and dominance effects for most traits, which suggested that substantial contribution of dominance was not due to heterogeneity of loci in these parameters.

Combining ability analysis for fibre quality in interspecific hybrids of cotton

TL;DR: The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes for all the characters studied indicating that the material used in the present investigation possessed sufficient variability, and the preponderance of non-additive gene action for most of theCharacters studied.

GENETIC AND MOLECUALR INVESTIGATIONS ON FUZZLESS AND FUZZY LINTED UPLAND COTTON (G. hirsutum L.) VARIETIES AND THEIR HYBRIDS

R. Manimaran
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-anatomy of the fruit fly larva of G. hirsutum L. using a probabilistic approach to evaluate the phytochemical properties of this fruit fly.
