Mutants representing various major and sub-classes of cotton phenotypes. (a) Wild type flower of PB-899. (b) Mutant flower with sterile anthers. (c) Wild type mature cotton fruit (tetra-loculed). (d) Mutant cotton boll (tri-loculed). (e) Wild type plant of PB-899. (f–h) Branching pattern mutants: (f); bunchy top mutant with vegetative bunch of growth at the top, (g); Mutant without sympodial branches possessing bowl shaped branching pattern, (h); Spiral shaped branching mutant. (i–k) CLCuD resistance mutants: (i); CLCuV resistant mutant (j); Tolerant, (k); Susceptible. (l) Cotton boll with boll rot disease. (m) High yielding seed cotton mutant. (n) Mutant with fertile, slow developing and sterile boll development. (o) Mature boll development with sterile seeds. (p) Red colored boll mutant. (q) Vegetative mutant showing palm shaped large leaf development and abnormal rosette shaped flower, the resultant boll had sterile seeds. (r) Variegated mutant with leaf lesions. (s) Irregular lobe symmetry of leaf. (This figure was designed by Usman Aslam and all the photographs included in it were also taken by Usman Aslam.)
