Abstract
Cell and nuclear volumes were determined for 17 species and plant types in the genus Gossypium. All species and types, except one, showed a significant positive association between nuclear and cell volume. The overall species r-value (0.694) for cell and nuclear volume is highly significant and positive. For the 17 plant forms, the r-values for association of DNA content and nuclear volume and for association of DNA content and cell volume are 0.625 and 0.655, respectively, and both are highly significant.Keywords
