The Pivotal Role of Major Chromosomes of Sub-Genomes A and D in Fiber Quality Traits of Cotton

Abdul Razzaq et al. Front Genet. .

Abstract

Lack of precise information about the candidate genes involved in a complex quantitative trait is a major obstacle in the cotton fiber quality improvement, and thus, overall genetic gain in conventional phenotypic selection is low. Recent molecular interventions and advancements in genome sequencing have led to the development of high-throughput molecular markers, quantitative trait locus (QTL) fine mapping, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). These advanced tools have resolved the existing bottlenecks in trait-specific breeding. This review demonstrates the significance of chromosomes 3, 7, 9, 11, and 12 of sub-genomes A and D carrying candidate genes for fiber quality. However, chromosome 7 carrying SNPs for stable and potent QTLs related to fiber quality provides great insights for fiber quality-targeted research. This information can be validated by marker-assisted selection (MAS) and transgene in Arabidopsis and subsequently in cotton.

Keywords: Gossypium species; SNPs; chromosome 7 significance; cotton fiber development; fiber quality; stable QTLs.
