Incorporation of ¹⁴C-photosynthate into developing cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) bolls of several ages was studied in the cultivar ‘Paymaster III.’ Maximum incorporation of ¹⁴C-assimilate into developing boll walls and fiber occurred at 8 to 10 and 23 to 40 days after anthesis, respectively. ¹⁴C-photosynthate incorporation was rapidly increasing in the developing fibers prior to the completion of fiber elongation. For Paymaster III, ‘Acala SJ-1,’ and ‘Stoneville 213’ cultivars, the rate of increase of fiber dry weight was maximal prior to the completion of fiber elongation.
