Distribution of quantitative trait locus (QTL) mode of inheritance for cotton traits on average over 5 years. The QTL number for a specific feature is represented by a vertical bar, the colour of which is based on the inheritance mode category. The number of increasing QTLs is represented by those bars above the zero line, whereas the number of decreasing QTLs relative to TM-1 is represented by the negative bars. The correlation value for each feature to lint yield for each plant is shown at the bottom, and those features with a correlation value higher than 0.5 are presented in bold type. LPP lint yield per plant, SPP seed-cotton yield per plant, BN boll number, BW boll weight, LI lint index, LP lint percentage, FB fruit branches, PH plant height, SI seed index, SFI short fibre index, FBP first fruit branch position, FBI fruiting-branch internode length of first fruit branch, FL fibre length, FS fibre strength, MIC micronaire, FUR fibre uniformity ratio, FE fibre elongation
