Cotton Genetics – A Work in Progress

As pressure to increase the quality and quantity of cotton production systems rises globally, assessing the success of breeding methods is an important task.Eighty-two germplasm lines developed since 1935 were used in the research and separated into separate groups based on their breeding cycle. These germplasm lines, as well as current commercial cultivars, were tested for agronomic and fiber quality in 14 southeastern U.S. production environments over a three year period. The data gathered was used to estimate the Pee Dee germplasm program’s impact on genetic improvement. …
