Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified numerous significant loci for boll number (BN) and boll weight (BW), which play an essential role in cotton (Gossypium spp.) yield. The North Carolina design II (NC II) genetic mating population exhibits a greater number of genetic variations than other populations, which may facilitate the identification of additional genes. Accordingly, the 3VmrMLM method was employed for the analysis of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in an incomplete NC II genetic mating population across three environments. A total of 204 quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) were identified, of which 25 (24.75%) BN and 30 (29.13%) BW QTNs were of small effect (
