Gossypium barbadense genome sequence provides insight into the evolution of extra-long staple fiber and specialized metabolites

Abstract: Of the two cultivated species of allopolyploid cotton, Gossypium barbadense produces extra-long fibers for the production of superior textiles. We sequenced its genome (AD)2 and performed a comparative analysis. We identified three bursts of retrotransposons from 20 million years ago (Mya) and a genome-wide uneven pseudogenization peak at 11–20 Mya, which likely contributed to genomic divergences. Among the 2,483 genes preferentially expressed in fiber, a cell elongation regulator, PRE1, is strikingly At biase… Show more

“…Recent advances in our increased knowledge of the sequence, structure, and organization of the cotton genomes (Paterson et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2012;Li et al, 2014Li et al, , 2015Liu et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2015;) will facilitate such efforts. This study suggests that MD 15 contains and transmits unique, additive alleles associated with improved fiber quality, especially fiber strength.…”

“…Restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) is a powerful and cost-effective method for detecting genetic variations [22, 23] and has become widely applied in plants [2428]. Moreover, landmark breakthroughs in genome sequencing of cotton species such as G. raimondii [29, 30] G. arboretum [31], G. barbadense [32, 33] and G. hirsutum L. [34, 35], have been achieved and will facilitate the detection of SNP markers.…”

“…The commercially cropped cotton is almost entirely of the species Gossypium hirsutum, derived from a few cultivars of the species, consequently of narrow genetic base (Moiana et al 2015). Gossypium barbadense is the second most cultivated species, known for the best fiber quality (Liu et al 2015). The Amazon basin is a center of diversity for cotton, and comprises the "kidney" cotton, classified as variety brasiliense, whose seeds are fused to each other in the capsule.…”
