Seed weight was used as an indicator of cytotype for the progeny of monosomic plants of Gossypium hirsutum L. Data were presented from plants monosomic for chromosomes 2, 4, 6, 16, 17, and 18. On a within‐boll basis lighter‐weight seeds tended to produce monosomic plants in comparison with heavier seeds, which tended to produce disomics.
