Abstract
Upland cotton accounts for a high percentage (95%) of the world's cotton production. Plant height (PH) and branch number (BN) are two important agronomic traits that have an impact on improving the level of cotton mechanical harvesting and cotton yield. In this research, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population with 250 lines developed from the variety CCRI70 was used for constructing a high-density genetic map and identification of quantitative trait locus (QTL). The results showed that the map harbored 8298 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, spanning a total distance of 4876.70 centimorgans (cMs). A total of 69 QTLs for PH (9 stable) and 63 for BN (11 stable) were identified and only one for PH was reported in previous studies. The QTLs for PH and BN harbored 495 and 446 genes, respectively. Combining the annotation information, expression patterns and previous studies of these genes, six genes could be considered as potential candidate genes for PH and BN. The results could be helpful for cotton researchers to better understand the genetic mechanism of PH and BN development, as well as provide valuable genetic resources for cotton breeders to manipulate cotton plant architecture to meet future demands.

[PMID: 37108376 PMCID: PMC10138326 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24087217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/09/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Early maturity is an important agronomic trait in most crops, because it can solve the problem of planting in stubble for multiple cropping as well as make full use of light and temperature resources in alpine regions, thereby avoiding damage from low temperatures in the early growth period and early frost damage in the late growth period to improve crop yield and quality. The expression of genes that determine flowering affects flowering time, which directly affects crop maturity and indirectly affects crop yield and quality. Therefore, it is important to analyze the regulatory network of flowering for the cultivation of early-maturing varieties. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a reserve crop for future extreme weather and is also a model crop for functional gene research in C4 crops. However, there are few reports on the molecular mechanism regulating flowering in foxtail millet. A putative candidate gene, SiNF-YC2, was isolated based on quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping analysis. Bioinformatics analysis showed that SiNF-YC2 has a conserved HAP5 domain, which indicates that it is a member of the NF-YC transcription factor family. The promoter of SiNF-YC2 contains light-response-, hormone-, and stress-resistance-related elements. The expression of SiNF-YC2 was sensitive to the photoperiod and was related to the regulation of biological rhythm. Expression also varied in different tissues and in response to drought and salt stress. In a yeast two-hybrid assay, SiNF-YC2 interacted with SiCO in the nucleus. Functional analysis suggested that SiNF-YC2 promotes flowering and improves resistance to salt stress.
