Abstract

Gossypium hirsutum L. is the most important fiber crop worldwide and contributes to more than 95% of global cotton production. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is an effective approach for improving fiber quality, and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping of fiber quality traits is important for cotton breeding. In this study, a permanent intra-specific recombinant inbred line (RIL) population containing 137 families was used for fiber quality testing. Based on a previously reported high-density genetic map with an average marker distance of 0.63 cM, 186 additive QTLs were obtained for five fiber quality traits over five consecutive years, including 39 for fiber length (FL), 36 for fiber strength (FS), 50 for fiber uniformity (FU), 33 for micronaire (MC) and 28 for fiber elongation (FE). Three stable QTLs, qMC-A4-1, qMC-D2-3 and qFS-D9-1, were detected in four datasets, and another eight stable QTLs, qMC-A4-2, qMC-D11-2, qFU-A9-1, qFU-A10-4, qFS-D11-1, qFL-D9-2, qFL-D11-1 and qFE-A3-2, were detected in three datasets. The annotated genes in these 11 stable QTLs were collected, and these genes included many transcription factors with functions during fiber development. 33 QTL coincidence regions were found, and these involved nearly half of the total QTLs. Four chromosome regions containing at least 6 QTLs were promising for fine mapping. In addition, 41 pairs of epistatic QTLs (e-QTLs) were screened, including 6 for FL, 30 for FS, 2 for FU and 3 for MC. The identification of stable QTLs adds valuable information for further QTL fine mapping and gene positional cloning for fiber quality genetic detection and provides useful markers for further molecular breeding in enhancing fiber quality.
