A review of upland cotton production and quality in the United States a addresses yield trends; yield components, including gravimetrics and energetics; fiber quality trends; and fiber differentiation and development. Increases in the productive potential of the plant or in the number of seeds per unit of land surface were the primary causes of yield improvement. Because the weight of lint per seed has declined since 1975, maintaining an equivalent yield requires an increase in the number of seeds per acre. Cotton breeding programs should focus on selection for genetic types that produce more lint per seed coupled with an optimal level of seeds per acre. More fibers per seed might reduce short fiber content, which might increase mean fiber length and fiber length uniformity. 20 refs.
