Figure 1. Annual growth potential change of cotton plants.

Figure 1

(A) Cotton ovule growth potential as a function of month in which ovules were harvested. Ovules were harvested 1 dpa during the month indicated, cultured for 6 d, and measured for fiber length. Numbers indicate fiber length (mean ± SE, in mm). Each ovule in this panel is a representative of thirty in the same culture. (B) Growth of cotton fibers from ovules harvested over the same monthly cycle for three consecutive years. (C) Cotton fiber length and first main stem internode length in planta in four different seasons. Error bars, SE. In (A–C), n = 6; In (A,C), *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
