Description:
Seeds of two upland cotton lines (Acala 1517-99 and TAM 94L-25) were treated with 3.0% v/v of Ethyl Methane Sulfonate in 2002. Succeeding generations of the mutant populations were advanced by harvesting a single boll from each plant. In 2005, seed cotton samples were harvested from a total of 3,122 individual M2:5 plants and evaluated for fiber properties. Three lines each from Acala 1517-99 (TTU 1-817, TTU 1-1051, TTU1-1283) and TAM 94L-25 (TTU 2-411, TTU 2-475, TTU 2-1073) were selected.
