Cotton (Gossypium spp.) has retained its prominent position in the international arena despite stiff competition from synthetic fibre. One of the major cotton producing countries in the world, occupying the third place (2.6 million M. T.) and having the largest acreage (8.8 million ha. ), India is still lacking far behind in terms of cotton productivity (298 Kg lint/ha) as compared to the highest productivity level (1667 Kg lint/ha ) as achieved by Israel (Mayee et al. 2001). The figures indicate that the major genetic potential remains yet to be fully exploited. Seedlessness in cotton may prove to be an essential indirect selection index for increased lint yield.
