In a half diallel set of crosses involving twelve AH (67) parents and in a full diallel set with nine Albar 51 lines the genetic control of three characters of fibre quality, namely effective length, fibre bundle strength and micronaire value could largely be accounted for by an additive (parent + parent) model. Nevertheless, there were non-additive effects that could be attributed to particular parents. However, for practical plant breeding purposes, it seems that where improvements in lint quality only are being sought, the best breeding method is pedigree line breeding, supported by recurrent selection using crosses of the best lines to produce superior recombinants. Significant interactions between parents and sites for the three lint quality traits indicate that quality tests over a wide range of conditions are advisable at a fairly early stage in any selection programme in Uganda.
在涉及 12 个 AH（67）亲本的半双列杂交组合和 9 个 Albar 51 系的完全双列杂交组合中，纤维品质的三个性状——有效长度、纤维束强度和马克隆值的遗传控制可以用加性（亲本+亲本）模型来解释。然而，也存在非加性效应，可以归因于特定的亲本。然而，对于实际的植物育种目的，似乎在只寻求棉纤维质量改进的情况下，最好的育种方法是通过系谱系谱选择，辅以使用最佳系杂交来产生优良重组体的反复选择。三个棉纤维质量性状的父母和地点之间的显著相互作用表明，在乌干达的任何选择计划的早期阶段，在广泛的条件下进行质量测试是明智的。
