Abstract in English
Seven cotton genotypes (Rkka5, Aleppo1-33, Aleppo90 – Aleppo 118,
Aleppo 40, Deir22, and Line124), were used to estimate variance and genetic
and phenotypic correlations between seed cotton productivity and its
components [earliness in flowering and maturity(day), plant height (cm),
number of vegetative and reproductive branches, number of bolls per plant,
100 seed weight (g), average boll weight (g), lint percentage (%), and plant yield
(g)], to be used as selection indices for higher yield performance in breeding
programs. The experiment was carried out in Al-Ghab region (Hama) in 2012-
2013 growing season using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with
three replications.
