QTL mapping and genetic effect of chromosome segment substitution lines with excellent fiber quality from Gossypium hirsutum × Gossypium barbadense.

Chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) are ideal materials for identifying genetic effects. In this study, CSSL MBI7561 with excellent fiber quality that was selected from BCF of CCRI45 (Gossypium hirsutum) × Hai1 (Gossypium barbadense) was used to construct 3 secondary segregating populations with 2 generations (BCF and BCF). Eighty-one polymorphic markers related to 33 chromosome introgressive segments on 18 chromosomes were finally screened using 2292 SSR markers which covered the whole tetraploid cotton genome.

Transcriptomic and biochemical analysis of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) and a chromosome segment substitution line from G. hirsutum × G. barbadense in response to Verticillium dahliae infection.

Background: Verticillium wilt (VW), also known as "cotton cancer," is one of the most destructive diseases in global cotton production that seriously impacts fiber yield and quality. Despite numerous attempts, little significant progress has been made in improving the VW resistance of upland cotton. The development of chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) from Gossypium hirsutum × G.

Comparative transcriptome analysis of cotton fiber development of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) and Chromosome Segment Substitution Lines from G. hirsutum × G. barbadense.

Background: How to develop new cotton varieties possessing high yield traits of Upland cotton and superior fiber quality traits of Sea Island cotton remains a key task for cotton breeders and researchers. While multiple attempts bring in little significant progresses, the development of Chromosome Segment Substitution Lines (CSSLs) from Gossypium barbadense in G. hirsutum background provided ideal materials for aforementioned breeding purposes in upland cotton improvement.

[Cotton fiber quality traits were controlled mainly by maternal plant genotype].

Hai1, a Gossypium barbadense L. variety with super fiber quality, and CCRI36 and Zhong221, two upland cotton cultivars (Gossypium hirsutum L.), were used as recurrent parents to develop two backcross combinations of CCRI36xHai1 and Zhong221xHai1.

Diallel analysis of superior fiber quality properties in selected upland cottons.

Twenty cross combinations were produced using a complete diallel-mating system with five varieties or lines that differed in fiber properties in Upland cotton to determine the inheritance and breeding merits of superior fiber properties. Evaluations of parents and F1 ' s were conducted in two years. The results showed that fiber length uniformity was greatly affected by environmental factors, whereas the other fiber properties were mainly controlled by genetic factors.

[Major-polygene effect analysis of super quality fiber properties in upland cotton (G. hirsutum L.)].

The modern textile industry depends on the improvement of fiber quality, especially strength to meet the needs of higher spinning speed. Inheritance of super quality fiber properties in Upland cotton was conducted in the present paper. P1, P2, F1, B1, B2 and F2 of eight crosses from five parents with different fiber strength, i.
