Combined Effects of Glandless Genes gl₂ and gl₃ on Pigment Glands in the Cotton Plant

Synopsis: Two genes, gl₂ and gl₃, were found responsible for glandlessness (absence of pigment glands) in the cotton plant, Gossypium hirsutum L. A third gene, gl₂, is inherited independently and is masked by the action of gl₂ and gl₃. Glandlessness is recessive in the seedling stage but partially dominant in the mature stage. Glandless cottonseed, previously found associated with absence of gossypol and other pigments, promises to be of economic value to the cottonseed crushing industry.
