Summary
Growth and development of cotton fibers in a developmental mutant, Ligon-lintless, and its near isogenic wild type, Texas Marker-1, were compared in ovule and cell suspension cultures. In both organ and cell cultures the pattern of growth of fiber cells from the two genotypes mimicked the pattern ofin vivo growth. The timing of fiber cell initiation soon after anthesis in Ligon-lintless suggests that the fiber cells on this mutant are analogous to the commercially important lint fibers. Length distributions of elongated cells from cell suspension culture of Ligon-lintless and Texas Marker-1 indicate that the length attained in culture is affected by the genotype of the explant tissue.
