NOTICE OF RELEASE OF THREE NECTARILESS ARKOT GERMPLASM LINES OF COTTON

摘要

The Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station announces the release of three noncommercial, nectariless breeding lines of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., designated Arkot 9406ne, Arkot 9605ne, and Arkot 9631ne. The lines were developed using the generalized procedures outlined by Bourland (2004), and resulted from crossing three nectaried lines developed in the University of Arkansas cotton breeding program with three nectariless lines developed by other breeding programs. Jenkins and Wilson (1996) reviewed articles indicating that the absence of nectarines on leaves and flowers confer some resistance to tarnished plant bug (Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois)).
