Interpretive Summary: PD 05064, PD 05069, PD 05070, and PD 05071 are noncommercial breeding lines of cotton jointly released by the Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, the Clemson University Experiment Station, and Cotton Incorporated in 2014. PD 05064, PD 05069, PD 05070, and PD 05071 possess outstanding fiber quality properties and fiber spinning characteristics significantly better than several commercial cultivars. Specifically, PD 05064, PD 05069, PD 05070, and PD 05071 possess outstanding fiber strength and length potential, while displaying excellent fiber spinning characteristics superior to commercial cultivars. PD 05064, PD 05069, PD 05070, and PD 05071 display full season maturity and produce lint yields similar to or better than commercial cultivars. PD 05064, PD 05069, PD 05070, and PD 05071 are broadly adapted across the United States upland cotton production region. The combination of high yield potential, excellent fiber quality, and superior fiber spinning performance make PD 05064, PD 05069, PD 05070, and PD 05071 valuable genetic resources to cotton breeding programs.

Technical Abstract: PD 05064, PD 05069, PD 05070, and PD 05071 are noncommercial breeding lines of cotton jointly released by the Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, the Clemson University Experiment Station, and Cotton Incorporated in 2014. PD 05064, PD 05069, PD 05070, and PD 05071 are full-sib breeding lines selected from a cross of PD 94042 and Fibermax 989. PD 05064, PD 05069, PD 05070, and PD 05071 possess broad adaptation and display outstanding fiber quality properties significantly better than several commercial cultivars.
