Inheritance and Linkage Relationship of Strap Leaf Mutant in Cotton¹

A new mutant in Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is described. The inheritance and linkage data show that the mutant expression is controlled by homozygous recessive alleles at a new locus. The mutant was designated "strap leaf" and assigned the gene symbols ss for the homozygous recessive character. Strap leaf is linked to veins-fused (vf) and Green lint (Lg) by 3.7 and 11.1 crossover units, respectively

Key Words: Linkage group • 2,4-D phenocopy
