The Egyptian cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) strain, ‘Bahtim 110’, is glandless due to the expression of a dominant allele at a single locus while the glandless condition found in Upland cotton (G. hirsutura L.) is due to the expression of recessive alleles at two loci. The gene conditioning the glandless character in the Egyptian strain was found to be an allele at the Gl2 locus and was designated Gl2•. Potential use of this gene in glandless cottonseed breeding programs is discussed.
