Abstract:
... KEY MESSAGE: A major QTL conferring resistance to Fusarium wilt race 4 in a narrow region of chromosome D02 was identified in a MAGIC population of 550 RILs of Upland cotton. Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the genetic basis of Fusarium wilt (FW, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum, FOV) resistance using bi-parental and association mapping populations in cotton. In ...
... Cotton fiber mutants are valuable resources for studying functions of altered genes and their roles in fiber development. The n₄ᵗ is a recessive tufted-fuzzless seed mutant created through chemical mutagenesis with ethyl methanesulfonate. Genetic analysis indicated that the tufted-fuzzless phenotype is controlled by a single recessive locus. In this study, we developed an F₂ population of 602 prog ...
... Previously we identified a major cotton fiber strength QTL (qFS-c7-1) on chromosome A07 using a multi-parent advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) population. To assess the stability and transferability of this QTL and its utility in cotton breeding, we made ten new populations. These populations were developed from crosses between MAGIC recombinant inbred lines, or between cotton cultivars that ...

Abstract:
... Cotton is grown in arid and semi-arid regions where abiotic stresses such as drought and salt are prevalent. There is a lack of studies that simultaneously address the genetic and genomic basis of tolerance to drought and salt stress. In this study, a multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population of 550 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) together with their 11 Upland cotton parents ...
... Pima cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) is grown for its superior fiber quality in four U.S. states and in several other countries. However, there is a lack of information on major and stable quantitative trait loci (QTL) for fiber quality and agronomic traits and abiotic stress tolerance across different environments. In this study, a genetic linkage map based on 403 simple sequence repeat (SSR) ma ...
... BACKGROUND: Despite remarkable advances in our knowledge of epigenetically mediated transcriptional programming of cell differentiation in plants, little is known about chromatin topology and its functional implications in this process. RESULTS: To interrogate its significance, we establish the dynamic three-dimensional (3D) genome architecture of the allotetraploid cotton fiber, representing a ty ...
... Most commercially produced cotton cultivars have two types of fibers on the seed coat, short fuzz and long lint. Lint fiber is used in the textile industry, while fuzz is considered an undesirable trait. Both types of fibers are believed to be controlled by the same regulators; however, their mechanisms of actions are still obscure. Cotton fiber mutants provide an excellent system to study the gen ...
... KEY MESSAGE: The EMS-induced threonine/isoleucine substitution in a tetratricopeptide repeat-like superfamily protein encoded by gene Ghir_A12G008870 is responsible for the Ligon-lintless-y (liy) short fiber phenotype in cotton. A short fiber mutant Ligon-lintless-y was created through treating the seeds of the cotton line MD15 with ethyl methanesulfonate. Genetic analysis indicated that the short ...
... Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the major species of cotton due to its high yield and good adaptability. With much less land area, pima cotton (G. barbadense L.) is also cultivated for its superior fibers. Existing research efforts have mainly focused on introgression of fiber quality traits from pima into upland cotton, with few on the seed mineral and protein contents. In this research, ...
... Fineness and maturity are two cotton (Gossypium spp.) fiber properties that respectively estimate the fiber diameter and degree of internal fiber thickening. Cotton researchers have been searching for accurate and efficient ways of measuring them due to their important roles in lint yield, fiber quality, and downstream textile performance. The recent development of the Cottonscope has offered an i ...
... Drought and salt tolerances are complex traits and controlled by multiple genes, environmental factors and their interactions. Drought and salt stresses can result in more than 50% yield loss in Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). G. barbadense L. (the source of Pima cotton) carries desirable traits such as tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress along with high fiber quality. However, few studi ...
... Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fibers are unicellular trichomes that differentiate from ovule epidermal cells. Cotton fiber development is divided into four distinct yet overlapping stages: initiation, elongation, secondary cell wall (SCW) biosynthesis, and maturation. There are numerous naturally occurring and man‐made fiber mutants that display aberrant phenotypes ranging from fiberless to extremely sh ...
... The use of genomic selection (GS) has stimulated a new way to utilize molecular markers in breeding for complex traits in the absence of phenotypic data. GS can potentially decrease breeding cycle by selecting the progeny in the early stages. The objective of this study was to experimentally evaluate the potential value of genomic selection in Upland cotton breeding. Six fiber quality traits were ...

... The analysis of association between genotypic markers and phenotypic traits allows identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs), which can be applied through marker-assisted selection in breeding programs to improve the quality of crops. However, success in these applications depends primarily on the stability and dominance of the QTL. We previously identified a significant fiber length (FL) Q ...
... The cotton fibre serves as a valuable experimental system to study cell wall synthesis in plants, but our understanding of the genetic regulation of this process during fibre development remains limited. We performed a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) and identified 28 genetic loci associated with fibre quality in allotetraploid cotton. To investigate the regulatory roles of these loci, we seq ...

... KEY MESSAGE: MAGIC population sequencing and virus-induced gene silencing identify Gh_D02G0276 as a novel root-knot nematode resistance gene on chromosome 14 in Upland cotton. The southern root-knot nematode [RKN; Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White)] remains the primary yield-limiting biotic stress to Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) throughout the southeastern USA. While useful genetic ma ...
... Xyloglucan is a matrix polysaccharide found in the cell walls of all land plants. In growing cells, xyloglucan is thought to connect cellulose microfibrils and regulate their separation during wall extension. Ligon lintless-2 (Li2) is a monogenic dominant cotton fiber mutation that causes extreme reduction in lint fiber length with no pleiotropic effects on vegetative growth. Li2 represents an exc ...
... In this work we describe a chemically-induced short fiber mutant cotton line, Ligon-lintless-y (liy), which is controlled by a single recessive locus and affects multiple traits, including height of the plant, and length and maturity of fiber. An RNAseq analysis was used to evaluate global transcriptional changes during cotton fiber development at 3, 8 and 16days post anthesis. We found that 613, ...
... Cotton cultivars with reduced fiber-seed attachment force have the potential to be ginned faster with less energy. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for net ginning energy requirement (NGE), and its relationship with other fiber quality traits in upland cotton. Two cotton lines, TAM 182-34 ELS and AR 9317-26, with significant differences in NGE and fiber-see ...
... BACKGROUND: Weed management is critical to global crop production and is complicated by rapidly evolving herbicide resistance in weeds. New sources of herbicide resistance are needed for crop plants so that applied herbicides can be rotated or combined to thwart the evolution of resistant weeds. The diverse family of cytochrome P450 proteins has been suggested to be a source of detoxifying herbici ...
