Genetic Analysis of Some Quantitative and Qualitative Traits in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)


Abstract in English

Succes of a breeding program depends, to a great extent, on understanding the gentic behavior of the traits. This investigation was conducted to study and examine the inheritance of some economically important characters such as: total bolls number, actual bolls number, ginning percentage , boll weight, harvest index, flowering earliness, maturity earliness, plant height,and fiber fineness.
