Genes for semi‐glabrous leaf and nectariless plant were transferred into ‘Acala 1517’ cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) from the insect‐tolerant strain 1514, which carries the Sm 1 sl , ne 1 , and ne 2 genes. The F 2 progeny of this cross approached the midparent in agronomic and fiber properties. A semi‐glabrous, nectariless selection from the above cross was hybridized with a selected experimental strain from Acala 1517. The unselected F 2 progeny of the second cross appeared to be essentially equal to the Acala 1517 parent in disease resistance and agronomic and fiber properties.
