| COMMENT | Observed Taxon | The observed species of Gossypium in the plot. | hirsutum | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| COMMENT | Usability | Ease of cultivation and crop production. | 2 - Fails to mature or produce seed in a single summer growing season. Results from a combination of factors such as delayed maturity, photoperiodic (short day) flowering, hard seed coats, poor stand establishment (many collected G. barbadense GB, most G. hirsutum TEX landraces/racestocks or 'wild' cotton). | | COTTON.OVERVIEW | TEX 1956 .02 SD | Not Available |
| GROWTH | Growth Habit | Growth pattern of stem and branches. | 1 - normal - stem growth is typical of that seen for most cotton cultivars | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| GROWTH | Height (average) for the plot | Plot height to the nearest foot. | 4 - Plot height was estimated to the nearest foot. Plant height ranges from three to four feet (0.91 to 1.22 meters) in height | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| GROWTH | Stand establishment | Stand establishment of the accession in the plot. | 4 - three fourths of a full stand | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| GROWTH | Plot uniformity | Indicates degree of uniformity of plants in field plot. | unif - appears uniform and each trait can be given a single score
| | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| MORPHOLOGY | Bract Type | Type of bract according to shape or placement relative to the boll. | 1 - normal - typical bract that remains close to the boll and expands to partially wrap the boll | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| MORPHOLOGY | Leaf Color | The degree of red coloration to the leaf color. | 1 - green - leaf is primarily green in color | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| MORPHOLOGY | Leaf Glands | Density of gossypol glands in the leaves. | 3 - heavy - density of glands is greater than that normally seen in most cotton cultivars | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| MORPHOLOGY | Leaf Hair | Relative density of hairs on the leaf surfaces (expanded leaves at the fourth node). | 2 - few - leaf hairs are at a low frequency | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| MORPHOLOGY | Leaf Nectary Number | Number of nectary glands on the undersides of the leaf. | 3 - 3 - nectar glands found on main vein and two other veins on undersides of leaves | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| MORPHOLOGY | Leaf Shape | The general shape of the mature, expanded leaves (degree of lobing ). | 1 - normal - leaf shape typically seen in cotton cultivars | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| MORPHOLOGY | Seed Type | The clustering of the seed in the boll. | 1 - free - seeds separate freely from each other in the ripe boll | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| MORPHOLOGY | Stem Glands | The relative density of gossypol glands on the stems. | 3 - heavy - density of glands is greater than that normally seen in most cotton cultivars | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| MORPHOLOGY | Stem Hair | Stem hair density on the mature, expanded stem, fourth node, or older. | 2 - few - stem hairs are at low frequency | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| PHENOLOGY | Maturity | Maturity of the plot at the time of observation. | 2 - flowers have formed, but bolls are not yet forming | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
| PRODUCTION | Productivity | Relative assessment of boll load on a single plant. | 0 - no bolls have formed on the plant | | COTTON.MXCWN.FIELD.MEXICO.COLIMA.TECOMAN | TEX 1956 T11-0658 SD | |
