Significant variations of leaf shapes across the Gossypium sp. considerably influence the infiltration of sunlight for photosynthesis. To understand the genetic variants and molecular processes underlying for cotton leaf shape, we used F2 population derived from upland cotton genotype P30A （shallow-lobed leaf） and sea-island cotton genotype ISR （deep-lobed leaf） to map leaf deep lobed phenotype controlling genes LBL1 and LBL2. Genetic analysis and localization results have unmasked the position and interaction between both loci of LBL1 and LBL2, and revealed the co-dominance impact of the genes in regulating depth of leaf blades lobes in cotton. LBL1 had been described as a main gene and member of transcription factor family leucine zipper （HD-ZIPI） from a class I homologous domain factor Gorai.OO2G244000. The qRT-PCR results elaborated the continuous change in expression level of LBL1 at different growth stages and leaf parts of cotton. Higher expression level was observed in mature large leaves followed by medium and young leaves respectively. For further confirmation, plants were tested from hormonal induction treatments, which explained that LBL 1 expression was influenced by hormonal signaling. Moreover, the highest expression level was detected in brassinolides （BR） treatment as compared to other hormones, and this hormone plays an important role in the process of leaf blade lobed formation.展开更多

The result showed that Hai R had one major dominant gene （RfB） to control the CMS fertility restoration and this fertility restoration gene functioned at the sporophytic level. The sterile cytoplasm background might not only influence the transmission rate of male gamete but also that of female gamete when the restorer gene was recessive. It could be deduced that this fertility restoration gene might come from G. harknessii cotton, Hai R is of value in the application of cotton interspecific hybrid breeding.展开更多

Its male cell abortion was observed using a light microscope through a paraffin slice for H.E staining technique. The results showed that the abortion characteristics in HaiA were not significantly changed at the cytological level, although G. hirsuturn nuclear genome of sterile line was replaced by G. barbadense nuclear genome, and its abortion mainly took place at the stage of the microspore mother cell meiosis. HaiA sterility was very stable because of its early abortion and no-pollens in anthers. Hybrids between HaiA and G. hirsuturn restorers were high in pollen viability, boll setting rate, boll weight and lint percentage which contributed to high yield heterosis. It is suggested that HaiA is of great value in the application of cotton interspecific hybrid seed production.展开更多

These adaptations entail qualitative and/or quantitative metabolic changes that often provide a competitive advantage, impact adjustment to new environments, and effect the survival of the species. Changes in isozymes or allozymes, changes in enzyme concentration, modification by substrate and effectors, and metabolic regulation of enzyme function without changing enzyme composition are all possible strategies for adaptation to changes in temperature. The degree of adaptation among cotton cultivars to a specific thermal regime may be difficult to determine from phenotypic responses of the plants. The present study evaluated the thermal sensitivity of Gossypium hirsutum L. and Gossypium barbadense L. cultivars following growth under distinct thermal environments. The metabolic fitness of Gossypium hirsutum L. and Gossypium barbadense L. cultivars showed that the Gossypium hirsutum L. cultivars grown in a 28°C/20°C day/night cycle tended to be better equipped to cope with a 16 h - 38°C treatment than the same cultivars grown in a 38°C/32°C day/night cycle. The Gossypium barbadense L. cultivars, on the other hand, grown in a 38°C/32°C day/night cycle tended to be equipped to cope with a 16 h - 38°C treatment than the same cultivars grown in a 28°C/20°C day/night cycle. The Gossypium hirsutum L. line TX 303 is an exception to these general trends as its responses were similar to the Gossypium barbadense L. St. Vincent and Pima S-7 cottons.展开更多

Therefore, research on the cotton mitochondrial genome may provide important information for analyzing genome evolution and exploring the molecular mechanism of CMS. In this paper, we present a preliminary study on the mitochondrial genome of sea island cotton （Gossypium barbadense） based on positive clones from the bacterial artificial chromosome （BAC） library. Thirty-five primers designed with the conserved sequences of functional genes and exons of mitochondria were used to screen positive clones in the genome library of the sea island cotton variety called Pima 90-53. Ten BAC clones were obtained and verified for further study. A contig was obtained based on six overlapping clones and subsequently laid out primarily on the mitochondrial genome. One BAC clone, clone 6 harbored with the inserter of approximate 115 kb mtDNA sequence, in which more than 10 primers fragments could be amplified, was sequenced and assembled using the Solexa strategy. Fifteen mitochondrial functional genes were revealed in clone 6 by gene annotation. The characteristics of the syntenic gene/exon of the sequences and RNA editing were preliminarily predicted.展开更多

In the present study, nine parents, twenty F1, and twenty F2 crosses of intraspecific hybrids of sea island cotton （Gossypium barbadense L.） were grown at Tarim University, Alar, Xinjiang, China, in 2000 and 2001. Lint yield and its three component traits were measured and analyzed by an extended conditional mixed linear model approach. Lint percentage made the largest contribution to additive, additive x environment, and dominance x environment variations for lint yield. The contribution ratios of number of bolls, individual boll weight, and combined contribution of these two traits to additive x environment and dominance x environment variations for lint yield were not statistically significant. Lint yield of different parents could be affected differently by lint percentage. Lint yield of some parents was closely correlated with lint percentage, whereas for other parents, the behavior of individual boll weight and number of bolls played much more important roles on lint yield than that of lint percentage. It was shown by the conditional and conventional predicted additive x environment interaction effects of parents that the environment condition could influence different parents with varied effects.展开更多

文摘Enzyme adaptations to temperature occur constantly as temperature patterns modulate diurnally and seasonally. These adaptations entail qualitative and/or quantitative metabolic changes that often provide a competitive advantage, impact adjustment to new environments, and effect the survival of the species. Changes in isozymes or allozymes, changes in enzyme concentration, modification by substrate and effectors, and metabolic regulation of enzyme function without changing enzyme composition are all possible strategies for adaptation to changes in temperature. The degree of adaptation among cotton cultivars to a specific thermal regime may be difficult to determine from phenotypic responses of the plants. The present study evaluated the thermal sensitivity of Gossypium hirsutum L. and Gossypium barbadense L. cultivars following growth under distinct thermal environments. The metabolic fitness of Gossypium hirsutum L. and Gossypium barbadense L. cultivars showed that the Gossypium hirsutum L. cultivars grown in a 28°C/20°C day/night cycle tended to be better equipped to cope with a 16 h - 38°C treatment than the same cultivars grown in a 38°C/32°C day/night cycle.

文摘Fiber length is a critical trait that principally determines cotton spinning quality,while Upland cotton as the most widely cultivated Gossypium species around the world subjects to the relatively ordinary fiber performance.Chromosome segment substitution lines(CSSLs)have been introduced in cotton breeding to take full advantages of superior fiber quality and high yield from Sea Island and Upland cotton,respectively,which serve as ideal materials for elucidating the genetic mechanism of complex quantitative traits.Here,three CSSLs derived from CCRI45(G.hirsutum)×Hai1(G.barbadense),two superior(MBI7561 and MBI7747)and one(MBI7285)with ordinary fiber-quality,were subjected to transcriptome sequencing during fiber elongation together with their recurrent parent CCRI45,and 471.425 million clean reads were obtained with 91.47%average Q30 and 45.23%mean GC content.In total,5,673 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified from multi-sample comparisons,which were mainly involved in the oxidation-reduction process,protein phosphorylation,regulation of transcription,DNA template,and carbohydrate metabolic process.Eight temporal expression patterns were monitored on the DEGs of different lines,of which the significantly enriched profile revealed higher similarities between two superior CSSLs or the ordinary CSSL and CCRI45 with respect to fiber performance.Based on the intersection between the predicted introgressive genes from RNAseq data and the published gene information from the G.barbadense genome,1,535 introgressive genes were identified in three CSSLs.Further analysis of the three common introgressive sections in superior CSSLs revealed eight candidate genes that were identified to be involved in fiber development,namely,O-fucosyltransferase family protein(GB_A02G0240),glutamine synthetase 2(GB_A02G0272),Ankyrin repeat family protein(GB_A02G0264),beta-6 tubulin(GB_D03G1742),WRKY DNA-binding protein 2(GB_D03G1655),quinolinate synthase(GB_D07G0623),nuclear factor Y,subunit B13(GB_D07G0631),and leucine-rich repeat transmembrane protein kinase(GB_D07G0797).Our results provide novel insights into the mechanism underlying fiber formation and lay a solid foundation for further high-efficiency determination of candidate genes by combining RNA-seq data and pivotal chromosome regions.
文摘Sea Island cotto n(Gossy pium barbadense L.)has been highly valued in Verticillium wilt resist-ance and many fiber qualities including fiber length,strength,and fineness.To identify whether it had some special genes in fiber develop ment in co mparison with the upland cotton(G.hirsutumL.),an actin-depolymerizing factor(ADF)gene was cloned and characterized in this research.A 420 bp open reading frame of the cloned gene,termed GbADF1,encoded a protein of 139 amino acids.
文摘Verticillium dahliae Kleb.is a necrotrop hic plant pat hogen which causes serious soil borne vas-cular disease in cotton.The molecular basis the defe nse re sponse of cotton to this pathogen is poorly understood.To capture a wide spectrum of differentially expressed genes in cotton defense response,PCR-Select Subtractive Hybridization(SSH)was performed to generate highly enriched transcripts.Tester and driver cDNAs were reverse transcribed from the mRN A of pat hogen infected and control cotton.A total of 405 ESTs were sequenced after selected for differential expression by rever se North-ern blot among more than 1400 clones in the SSH cDNA library.
文摘Cotton occupies a pre-eminent place among cash crops as it guides the destiny of a large section of the farming community as well as that of a flourishing textile industry.As the yarn manufacturing industry has undergone a technological revolution,more emphasis is given to quality of the raw
文摘Sea Island cotton(Gossypium barba dense L.)has superior fiber quality p roperties,while Upland cotton(G.hirsutum L.)is characterized by its high yield.Although these two species are easily cro ssed,it is difficult to integrate their superior genes.It will be very helpful to molecular breeding and evolution st udy in Gossypium to reveal genomic differentiation between G.barbadense and G.hir-sutum.An enhanced genetic map consisting of 2247 loci and covering 3514.6 cM,with an average in-termarker distance of 1.5 cM has been developed.

文摘Background:Gossypium hirsutum is highly susceptible to Verticillium wilt,and once infected Verticillium wilt,its yield is greatly reduced.But G.barbadense is highly resistant to Verticillium wilt.It is possible that transferring some disease-resistant genes from G.barbadense to G.hirsutum may contribute to G.hirsutum resistance to Verticillium wilt.Result:Here,we described a new gene in G.barbadense encoding AXMN Toxin Induced Protein-11,Gb At11,which is specifically induced by Verticillium dahliae in G.barbadense and enhances Verticillium wilt resistance in G.hirsutum.Overexpression in G.hirsutum not only significantly improves resistance to Verticillium wilt,but also increases the boll number per plant.Transcriptome analysis and real-time polymerase chain reaction showed that Gb At11 overexpression can simultaneously activate FLS2,BAK1 and other genes,which are involved in ETI and PTI pathways in G.hirsutum.Conclusion:These data suggest that Gb At11 plays a very important role in resistance to Verticillium wilt in cotton.And it is significant for improving resistance to Verticillium wilt and breeding high-yield cotton cultivars.
文摘Goss ypium barbadense L.is one of the most valuable cotton species due to its silkiness,luster,long staple,and high strength.Transferring the excellent fiber trait s from G.barba dense as the sec-ondary gene pool to the widely cultivated G.hirsutum via traditional and molecularaided selection is an attractive aim of breeders.So identification of t he novel genes functions from the G.barba dense fi-ber is important.Expansins are plant cell wall proteins first discovered in studies of plant cell enlarge-ment,and they have unique"loosening"effects on plant cell walls.They should be very important in the elongating fiber.
