ABSTRACT

Arkot 9608ne (Reg. No. GP-888, PI 651854) is a noncommercial breeding line of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) that was released by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station in August 2007. The line was selected from a 1996 cross of ‘MD51ne’ and Arkot 8712, and possesses the nectariless and smooth-leaf morphological traits. Lint yields of Arkot 9608ne have approximated commercial check cultivars with highest relative yields achieved in north Mississippi River Delta locations. Arkot 9608ne is early maturing and possesses improved fiber length and strength. The combinations of nectariless, smooth leaf, longer fiber length, stronger fiber strength, and specific yield adaptation and host plant resistance traits make this line valuable to cotton breeding programs.
