VH8-4602, a G. barbadensevariety of the Sea Island type, was thedonor parent for superior fibre quality, <strong>in</strong>particular for length (+9 to +12 mm as comparedwith Guazuncho 2), strength (+12 to+16 g/tex) and f<strong>in</strong>eness (-30 to -50 millitex);conversely its fibre colour <strong>in</strong>dices (reflectanceand yellowness) are of lower value. 1The plant material used <strong>in</strong> the multigenerationQTL analyses <strong>in</strong>cluded threepopulations: BC 1 , BC 2 and BC 2 S 1 (Lacapeet al., 2005). The first backcross generation(BC 1 ), consisted of 75 plants grown<strong>in</strong> a greenhouse <strong>in</strong> Montpellier (France)dur<strong>in</strong>g the summer of 1999; these servedas female parents for the second backcrossto Guazuncho 2.
