Length, fineness, and strength of cotton lint as related to heredity and environment
1944
Hancock, N.I.
Measurements are given on the properties of length, fineness, and strength of cotton lint. The measurements were made on the fibrograph, arealometer, and Pressley fiber strength tester. These lint properties are definitely genetic characters of the cotton plant, and varieties show significant differences in their expression. Environmental conditions of the area where a variety is grown have an important influence upon the expression of the three lint properties. These lint properties may be considered independent genetically, but, under variable environments, fineness follows length in a positive manner, while strength follows length in a negative manner.
