Molecular mapping of genes affecting pubescence of cotton

R. J. Wright Journal of Heredity 1999. doi:10.1093/jhered/90.1.215

Other claims from this paper (9)

Observation Four QTLs affecting cotton leaf pubescence were mapped.
Association A chromosome 6 QTL imparts dense leaf pubescence and is inferred to be the t1 locus.
Association QLP1 explained significant variation in cotton leaf pubescence.
Association QLP2 explained significant variation in cotton leaf pubescence.
Association QLP1 reduced hairiness only in young cotton leaves.
Association QLP2 increased hairiness in mature cotton leaves.
Association The stem trichome locus did not correspond to loci affecting cotton leaf trichomes.
Method / resource A qualitative trichome density scoring system detected only the chromosome 6 locus.
Method / resource The DTL scoring system was apparently insufficiently sensitive to detect alleles such as t2 with smaller effects.
