^aMIC, UHM, and STR were determined by HVI, and all other measurements derived from AFIS analysis. Mean values with (SD) are shown for fiber quality parameters that were significantly different in greenhouse-grown G. hirsutum cv. Deltapine 90 and G. barbadense cv. Phytogen 800 as determined by T test (n = 3 biological replicates, each including fiber from numerous bolls harvested over the whole plant).
