[Method] By means of correlation analysis, partial correlation analysis and path analysis methods, the correlation of cotton main properties and their effects on cultivar registration index were explored using the dataset of national cotton regional trials in Yangtze River Valley during 1996-2013. The cultivar registration index model was constructed with stepwise regression statistical technique to ascertain the quantitative relationship of main characters with cultivar registration index, and the regional cotton trial dataset in 2013 was used to validate the model. [Result] Several characters with larger determinants to cultivar registration index were screened out, i.e. lint yield increase ratio,pro-frost yield ratio, verticillium wilt index, fiber strength, fusarium wilt index and micronaire value. The cultivar registration index model defined the functional relationship of cultivar registration index with the selected main characters, among which lint yield increase ratio, fiber strength and micronaire value contributed most to cultivar registration index. The model validation with regional cotton trials in 2013 indicated the root mean square error, RMSE was only 2.77, and the variation coefficient was 6.77%, which confirmed the model prediction effect was quite perfect.[Conclusion] The developed cultivar registration index model was reliable enough to simulate the complicated scoring system in cultivar registration procedure, also simplified cotton registration process, and enhanced the practicability of the cultivar registration index.展开更多
