Article Synopsis
- The study focused on using molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) to improve fiber strength in cotton by leveraging two major quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from an elite germ-plasm line (7235).
- QTLfs-1 was found to account for over 30% of the phenotypic variation in the breeding populations, while QTLfs-2 contributed around 12.5% and was identified in different fiber lines but worked independently from QTLfs-1.
- The research demonstrated that combining both QTLs through MAS notably increased selection efficiency for fiber strength across various breeding populations, showcasing a successful strategy for enhancing desirable traits in breeding programs.
