ABSTRACT. Simple sequence repeat techniques were used to identify the genetic diversity of 101 Gossypium arboreum accessions collected from India, Vietnam, and the southwest of China (Guizhou, Guangxi, and Yunnan provinces). Twenty-six pairs of SSR primers produced a total of 103 polymorphic loci with an average of 3.96 polymorphic loci per primer. The average of the effective number of alleles, Nei's gene diversity, and Shannon's information index were 0.59, 0.2835, and 0.4361, respectively. The diversity varied among different geographic regions. The result of principal component analysis was consistent with that of unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean clustering analysis. The 101 G. arboreum accessions were clustered into 2 groups.
ABSTRACT. Gossypium tomentosum and G. darwinii are wild allotetraploid cotton species, characterized by many excellent traits, including fiber fineness, drought tolerance, and Fusarium and Verticillium wilt resistance. Based on the construction of F 2 linkage groups of G. hirsutum x G. tomentosum and G. hirsutum x G. darwinii, two genetic linkage maps were compared. As a result, we found a total of seven inverted fragments on chr02, chr05, chr08, chr12, chr14, chr16, and chr25, and three translocated fragments on chr05, chr14, and chr26. In addition, comparison of the inverted and translocated fragments revealed that the orientation of four of seven markers in G. tomentosum were consistent with G. hirsutum or G. raimondii. The orientation of one of seven inverted markers of G. darwinii was consistent with G. hirsutum, and the orientation of one of three translocated markers of G. tomentosum was consistent with G. raimondii. These results indicate that, in comparison to G. darwinii, G. tomentosum has a closer genetic relationship to G. hirsutum. These findings will be important for our understanding on the genome structure of G. tomentosum and G. darwinii, and set the scene for further in-depth genome research such as fine mapping, tagging genes of interest from wild relatives, and evolutionary study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
