摘　　要：Cotton fibers are single-celled and cellulose-enriched epidermal seed hairs and the most important natural fibers for the global textile industry.Cotton seeds produce two distinct types of fibers:lint(long)and fuzz(short).Lint is the most economically valuable product of cotton,despite seeds being one of the major sources of edible oil and feeds of ruminant animals and fuzz having usages in multiple industrial products(Maeda et al.,2023).Increasing lint yield is therefore the primary goal of all cotton breeding programs worldwide.Lint yield is determined by plants per unit area,bolls per plant,boll weight,and lint percentage.High yields of modern elite cotton cultivars are mainly due to the increased lint percentage,and therefore improving the lint percentage will continue to be the main breeding strategy for pursuing ever-higher lint yields.
