Abstract

---

One hundred and seven lines of gossypium hirsutum L. originating from ten different countries were screened for resistance to bacterial blight incited by xanthomonas malvacearum (E.F. Smith), Dowson . seven lines were hormozygous immune , six segregating and ninety- four lines were found homozygous susceptible in the presence of race 18 of the pathogen . the immune lines appear to be a valuable source of germplasm for the contrl of bacterial blight of cotton in Pakistan.
