Additional file 1: of Feasibility assessment of phenotyping cotton fiber maturity using infrared spectroscopy and algorithms for genotyping analyses

Comparisons of the observed phenotypes with the predicted phenotypes based on their DNA marker genotypes in a genetic population with various fiber maturity. Seven hundred and eight F2 progeny plants were derived from a cross between wild-type (WT) upland cultivar MD52ne and immature fiber (im) mutant. Genotypes including homozygosity for the wild type (WT-homo), heterozygosity for the wild type (WT-hetro), and homozygosity for the im type (im-homo) were determined by DNA markers. The predicted WT phenotype (WT-homo and WT-hetro genotypes) and the im phenotype (im-homo genotype) were compared with the observed phenotypes based MIC values and lint percentage. (XLSX 61 kb)
