Abstract

Gossypium hirsutum L., or upland cotton, is an important renewable resource for textile fiber. To enhance understanding of the genetic basis of cotton earliness, we constructed an intra-specific recombinant inbred line population (RIL) containing 137 lines, and performed linkage map construction and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping. Using restriction-site associated DNA sequencing, a genetic map composed of 6,434 loci, including 6,295 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 139 simple sequence repeat loci, was developed from RIL population. This map spanned 4,071.98 cM, with an average distance of 0.63 cM between adjacent markers. A total of 247 QTLs for six earliness-related traits were detected in 6 consecutive years. In addition, 55 QTL coincidence regions representing more than 60 % of total QTLs were found on 22 chromosomes, which indicated that several earliness-related traits might be simultaneously improved. Fine-mapping of a 2-Mb region on chromosome D3 associated with five stable QTLs between Marker25958 and Marker25963 revealed that lines containing alleles derived from CCRI36 in this region exhibited smaller phenotypes and earlier maturity. One candidate gene (EMF2) was predicted and validated by quantitative real-time PCR in early-, medium- and late-maturing cultivars from 3- to 6-leaf stages, with highest expression level in early-maturing cultivar, CCRI74, lowest expression level in late-maturing cultivar, Bomian1. We developed an SNP-based genetic map, and this map is the first high-density genetic map for short-season cotton and has the potential to provide deeper insights into earliness. Cotton earliness-related QTLs and QTL coincidence regions will provide useful materials for QTL fine mapping, gene positional cloning and MAS. And the gene, EMF2, is promising for further study.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 June 2017.
All research outputs
#20,427,593
of 22,979,862 outputs
Outputs from BMC Genomics
#9,315
of 10,687 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#269,232
of 311,224 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Genomics
#166
of 222 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,979,862 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,687 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 311,224 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 222 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
