Lint index has been found (see 5, 7 for reviews) to be a continuous variable in segregating populations. Ware (6) reported dominant type gene actions in interspecific hybridizations; however, little has been published on gene actions in intraspecific crosses. The purpose of this paper is to report results from an investigation of gene action in the inheritance of lint index in intraspecific crosses of Upland cotton.
