This is a clear sign of inbreeding depression in the lack of pollinators and economically relevant, since the seeds are used for the next year sowing season. In a nutshell: self-pollination decreases seed quality of cotton.

Each plant was subject to 5 pollination treatments following Dafni (1992). Each treatment was applied to two flowers per plant, resulting in 100 flowers per treatment. Fruit set was counted after fruits had developed and were mature. In the following, intact and non-intact seeds per fruit were counted. jpeg katharina.stein@uni-rostock.de 2018-01-07T00:00:00 https://wascal-dataportal.org/geonetwork/srv/eng/file.disclaimer?uuid=41ece132-8f72-4cb4-8682-27dc22960bc2&fname=breeding_system_cotton__damaged_seeds.jpg&access=private WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download breeding_system_cotton__damaged_seeds.jpg File to download WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link 50 plants of conventional upland cotton were randomly chosen.
