Abstract: 
In order to evaluation of yield potential, early maturity and other quantitative and qualitative properties of cotton mutant lines for breeding programs, a field experiment was carried out in eight research stations during 2008-2009. The six mutant lines (L-M-1425, LM- 1676, L-M-1321, L-M-1673, L-M-1303, and L-M-1373) and 4 commercial varieties were arranged in completely randomized block with four replications. Different traits as yield, yield components, earliness and qualitative characteristics were studied. The results showed a significant difference among all traits. L-M-1673 line was more earliness than other lines. LM- 1676 and L-M-1425 in mazandaran, L-M-1676 in Moghan stations, L-M-1321 line in Darab and Varamin station, L-M-1321 and L-M-1425 in Kashmar station , L-M-1303 and LM- 1676 in HashemAbad and L-M-1425 in Karkandeh Station have the highest seed cotton yield. The results of combined Analysis showed that L-M-1321, L-M-1676, L-M-1425 were superior than others lines, respectively.
