Abstract excerpt
Extreme elongation distinguishes about one-fourth of cotton (Gossypium sp.) seed epidermal cells as "lint" fibers, useful for the textile industry, from "fuzz" fibers (<5 mm). Ligon lintless-2 (Li 2 ), a dominant mutation that results in no lint fiber but normal fuzz fiber, offers insight into pathways and mechanisms that differentiate spinnable cotton from its progenitors. A genetic map developed using 1,545 F2...
