Abstract

IN a previous paper (5), there were no measurable differences in photosynthetic rates among varieties within Gossypium hirsutum L. and Gossypium barbadense L. In the present study, 24 additional species of Gossypium and two species within the same family, the Malvaceae, were studied in an effort to evaluate variation in photosynthetic rate within a genus and a family of species. In the species of Gossypium, rate of leaf area development was also studied.This is one of several papers in a series on basic plant physiological aspects of methodology for selecting more efficient plants.
