Phenotypic observation of lint fibers and fuzz fibers in TM‐1. (A) Seed phenotype after combing of fibers. TM‐1 is the Upland cotton genetic standard (Kohel et al., 1970). The seed epidermis of TM-1 had long lint fibers and short fuzz fibers. Bars, 1.0 cm. (B) Feature of the lint fibers. (C) Feature of the fuzz fibers.
