Cotton descriptors (Revised)

International Board for Plant Genetic Resources (IBPGR) (1985) Cotton descriptors (Revised). International Board for Plant Genetic Resources 17 p.

This descriptor list, which has been prepared according to a standard IBPGR format, supersedes the list published in 1980. Descriptors are grouped under the following headings: (1) accession data, dealing with identification; (2) collection data, including details recorded by collectors; (3) date relating to site at which preliminary evaluation is carried out; (4) plant data, including vegetative, inflorescence and fruit traits; (5) and (6) similar data recorded during further evaluation; (7) stress susceptibility; (8) pest and disease susceptibility; (9) alloenzyme composition; (10) cytological characters and identified genes; and (11) notes. The information in categories (1) to (4) is considered the minimum that should be available for any one accession. A list of Gossypium species, including tetraploids, and their genome designations are given in an appendix.
