Abstract:
Plant architecture, flowering time and maturity traits are important determinants of yield and fiber quality of cotton. Genetic dissection of loci determining these yield and quality components is complicated by numerous loci with alleles conferring small differences. Therefore, mapping populations segregating for smaller numbers and sizes of introgressed segments is expected to facilitate dissection of these complex quantitative traits. At an advanced stage in the development of reciprocal advanced backcross populations from crosses between elite Gossypium hirsutum cultivar ‘ Acala Maxxa ’ (GH) and G. barbadense ‘ Pima S6 ’ (GB), we undertook mapping of plant architectural traits, flowering time and maturity. A total of 284 BC 4 F 1 and BC 4 F 2 progeny rows, 120 in GH and 164 in GB background, were evaluated for phenotype, with only 4 and 3 (of 7) traits showing significant differences among progenies. Genotyping by sequencing yielded 3,186 and 3,026 SNPs, respectively, that revealed a total of 27 QTLs in GH background and 22 in GB, for plant height, days to flowering, residual flowering at maturity and maturity. More than of 90% QTLs identified in both backgrounds had small effects (%PV & lt; 10), supporting the merit of this population structure to reduce background noise and small effect QTLs. Germplasm developed in this study may serve as potential pre-breeding material to develop improved cotton cultivars.
