Analysis of the genetic structure and diversity of upland cotton groups in different planting areas based on SNP markers.

Genetic diversity, kinship and population genetic structure analyses of Gossypium hirsutum germplasm can provide a better understanding of the origin and evolution of G. hirsutum biodiversity. In this study, adopt 273 elite upland cotton cultivar accessions collected from around the world, and especially from China to get 1,313,331 SNP molecular markers, it were used to construct a phylogenetic tree of each sample using MEGAX, to perform population structure analysis by ADMIXTURE software and principal component analysis (PCA) by EIGENSOFT software, and to estimate relatedness using SPAGeDi.

Genome-Wide Comparative Analysis of Heat Shock Transcription Factors Provides Novel Insights for Evolutionary History and Expression Characterization in Cotton Diploid and Tetraploid Genomes.

Heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) are involved in environmental stress response and plant development, such as heat stress and flowering development. According to the structural characteristics of the HSF gene family, HSF genes were classified into three major types (HSFA, HSFB, and HSFC) in plants. Using conserved domains of HSF genes, we identified 621 HSF genes among 13 cotton genomes, consisting of eight diploid and five tetraploid genomes.

Genetic diversity and structure of elite cotton germplasm (Gossypium hirsutum L.) using genome-wide SNP data.

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important natural textile fiber crop, and Gossypium hirsutum L. is responsible for 90% of the annual cotton crop in the world.

Genetic mapping of fiber color genes on two brown cotton cultivars in Xinjiang.

In the present study, genetic linkage analysis was carried out to map the fiber color loci Lc 1 and Lc 2 on two brown cotton cultivars with SSR and EST-SSR markers in the reference map by F2 segregation populations. The Lc 1 locus carried by Xincaimian6 (Gossypium hirsutum L.) was flanked by the marker NAU2862 and NAU1043 on the long arm of Chromosome 07, with genetic distance 7.
