Relationships between some important photosynthetic traits and fiber-quality characteristics were studied in inbred lines of Upland cotton. High positive correlations were found between photosynthetic activity components and cotton fiber properties, i.e., higher photosynthetic carbon exchange rates, net assimilation rates, leaf areas, and specific leaf weights resulted in longer and finer fiber. Negative correlations were found between photosynthetic traits and fiber breaking strength. |
