Distribution of relative lint yield against the highest yield parent, Sicot 71, in the populations prior- and post-selection for fibre quality based on HVI-measured fibre properties (top), fibre quality index (FQI, 2nd), Cottonspec predicted yarn properties (3rd) and premium and discount (PD) points (bottom). Down triangles represent relative yields of the lowest and highest yielding parents; Squares represent the means of the unselected and selected populations
