The experimental cotton line 247‐1 ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) is heavily glanded and has a high gossypol level in flower buds. The most logical (but not the only) interpretation of data from crosses of 247‐1 and stocks homozygous for various combinations of gland‐determining alleles at the gl 1 gl 2 , and gl 3 , loci was that the high‐gossypol content of 247‐1 could be explained by the presence of a high‐potency allele at the gl 3 locus, plus another factor, or factors, independent of the gland‐determining alleles.
