Genome-wide association study reveals genetic variation and candidate genes of lint yield components under salt field conditions in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
Abstract:Background
Salinity is one of the most decisive environmental factors limiting the productivity of cotton. However, the key genetic components leading to the reduction of cotton yield in saline-alkali soils are still unclear.
Results
Here, we evaluated three main components of lint yield across 316 G. hirsutum accessions, including single boll weight (SBW), lint percentage (LP) and boll number per plant (BNPP), under four salt conditions for two years. Phenotypic analysis indicated that LP showed no change… Show more
