Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense, Gb) is one of the major sources of high-grade natural fiber. Besides the common annual Gb cotton, perennial Gb cotton is also cultivated, but studies on perennial Gb cotton are rare. OBJECTIVES We aimed to make a systematic analysis of perennial sea-island cotton and lay a foundation for its utilization in breeding, and try to identify the representative structural variations (SVs) in sea-island cotton, and to reveal the population differentiation and adaptive improvement of sea-island cotton. METHODS Through genome assembly of one perennial Gb cotton accession (named Gb_M210936) and comparative genome analysis, variations during Gb cotton domestication were identified by comparing Gb_M210936 with annual Gb accession 3-79 and with wild allotetraploid cotton G. darwinii. Six perennial Gb accessions combining with the resequenced 1,129 cotton accessions were used to conduct population and genetic analysis. Large haplotype blocks (haploblocks), generated from interspecific introgressions and intraspecific inversions, were identified and were used to analyze their effects on population differentiation and agronomic traits of sea-island cotton. RESULTS One reference genome of perennial sea-island cotton was assembled. Representative SVs in sea-island cotton were identified, and 31 SVs were found to be associated with agronomic traits. Perennial Gb cotton had a closer kinship with the wild-to-landrace continuum Gb cotton from south America where Gb cotton is originally domesticated. Haploblocks were associated with agronomic traits improvement of sea-island cotton, promoted sea-island cotton differentiation into three subgroups, were suffered from breeding selection, and may drive Gb cotton to be adapted to central Asian. CONCLUSION Our study made up the lack of perennial Gb cotton genome, and clarified that exotic introgressions improved the traits of sea-island cotton, promoted the population differentiation, and drove sea-island cotton adaptive to central Asia, which will provide new insights for the genetic breeding improvement of sea-island cottons.

Abstract
Sulfotransferases (SOTs) (EC 2.8.2.-) are sulfate regulatory proteins in a variety of organisms that have been previously shown to be involved in regulating a variety of physiological and biological processes, such as growth, development, adaptation to land, stomatal closure, drought tolerance, and response to pathogen infection. However, there is a lack of comprehensive identification and systematic analysis of SOT in cotton, especially in G. barbadense. In this study, we used bioinformatics methods to analyze the structural characteristics, phylogenetic relationships, gene structure, expression patterns, evolutionary relationships, selection pressure and stress response of SOT gene family members in G. barbadense. In this study, a total of 241 SOT genes were identified in four cotton species, among which 74 SOT gene members were found in G. barbadense. According to the phylogenetic tree, 241 SOT protein sequences were divided into five distinct subfamilies. We also mapped the physical locations of these genes on chromosomes and visualized the structural information of SOT genes in G. barbadense. We also predicted the cis-acting elements of the SOT gene in G. barbadense, and we identified the repetitive types and collinearity analysis of SOT genes in four cotton species. We calculated the Ka/Ks ratio between homologous gene pairs to elucidate the selective pressure between SOT genes. Transcriptome data were used to explore the expression patterns of SOT genes, and then qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression patterns of GBSOT4, GBSOT17 and GBSOT33 under FOV stress. WGCNA (weighted gene co-expression network analysis) showed that GB_A01G0479 (GBSOT4) belonged to the MEblue module, which may regulate the resistance mechanism of G. barbadense to FOV through plant hormones, signal transduction and glutathione metabolism. In addition, we conducted a VIGS (virus-induced gene silencing) experiment on GBSOT4, and the results showed that after FOV inoculation, the plants with a silenced target gene had more serious leaf wilting, drying and cracking than the control group, and the disease index of the plants with the silenced target gene was significantly higher than that of the control group. This suggests that GBSOT4 may be involved in protecting the production of G. barbadense from FOV infection. Subsequent metabolomics analysis showed that some flavonoid metabolites, such as Eupatorin-5-methylether (3'-hydroxy-5,6,7,4'-tetramethoxyflavone, were accumulated in cotton plants in response to FOV infection.

Abstract
Cotton breeding programs have focused on agronomically-desirable traits. Without targeted selection for tolerance to high temperature extremes, cotton will likely be more vulnerable to environment-induced yield loss. Recently-developed methods that couple chlorophyll fluorescence induction measurements with temperature response experiments could be used to identify genotypic variation in photosynthetic thermotolerance of specific photosynthetic processes for field-grown plants. It was hypothesized that diverse cotton genotypes would differ significantly in photosynthetic thermotolerance, specific thylakoid processes would exhibit differential sensitivities to high temperature, and that the most heat tolerant process would exhibit substantial genotypic variation in thermotolerance plasticity. A two-year field experiment was conducted at Tifton and Athens, Georgia, USA. Experiments included 10 genotypes in 2020 and 11 in 2021. Photosynthetic thermotolerance for field-collected leaf samples was assessed by determining the high temperature threshold resulting in a 15% decline in photosynthetic efficiency (T15) for energy trapping by photosystem II (ΦPo), intersystem electron transport (ΦEo), and photosystem I end electron acceptor reduction (ΦRo). Significant genotypic variation in photosynthetic thermotolerance was observed, but the response was dependent on location and photosynthetic parameter assessed. ΦEo was substantially more heat sensitive than ΦPo or ΦRo. Significant genotypic variation in thermotolerance plasticity of ΦEo was also observed. Identifying the weakest link in photosynthetic tolerance to high temperature will facilitate future selection efforts by focusing on the most heat-susceptible processes. Given the genotypic differences in environmental plasticity observed here, future research should evaluate genotypic variation in acclimation potential in controlled environments.

Abstract
Cotton has been domesticated independently four times for its fiber, but the genomic targets of selection during each domestication event are mostly unknown. Comparative analysis of the transcriptome during cotton fiber development in wild and cultivated materials holds promise for revealing how independent domestications led to the superficially similar modern cotton fiber phenotype in upland (G. hirsutum) and Pima (G. barbadense) cotton cultivars. Here we examined the fiber transcriptomes of both wild and domesticated G. hirsutum and G. barbadense to compare the effects of speciation versus domestication, performing differential gene expression analysis and coexpression network analysis at four developmental timepoints (5, 10, 15, or 20 days after flowering) spanning primary and secondary wall synthesis. These analyses revealed extensive differential expression between species, timepoints, domestication states, and particularly the intersection of domestication and species. Differential expression was higher when comparing domesticated accessions of the two species than between the wild, indicating that domestication had a greater impact on the transcriptome than speciation. Network analysis showed significant interspecific differences in coexpression network topology, module membership, and connectivity. Despite these differences, some modules or module functions were subject to parallel domestication in both species. Taken together, these results indicate that independent domestication led G. hirsutum and G. barbadense down unique pathways but that it also leveraged similar modules of coexpression to arrive at similar domesticated phenotypes.

Abstract
Allotetraploid cotton plants Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense have been widely cultivated for their natural, renewable textile fibres. Even though ncRNAs in domesticated cotton species have been extensively studied, systematic identification and annotation of lncRNAs and miRNAs expressed in various tissues and developmental stages under various biological contexts are limited. This influences the comprehension of their functions and future research on these cotton species. Here, we report high confidence lncRNAs and miRNA collection from G. hirsutum accession and G. barbadense accession using large-scale RNA-seq and small RNA-seq datasets incorporated into a user-friendly database, CoNCRAtlas. This database provides a wide range and depth of lncRNA and miRNA annotation based on the systematic integration of extensive annotations such as expression patterns derived from transcriptome data analysis in thousands of samples, as well as multi-omics annotations. We assume this comprehensive resource will accelerate evolutionary and functional studies in ncRNAs and inform future breeding programs for cotton improvement. CoNCRAtlas is accessible at http://www.nipgr.ac.in/CoNCRAtlas/.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Upland cotton is one of the utmost significant strategic fiber crops, and play a vital role in the global textile industry. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 128 genotypes comprised Gossypium hirsutum L, Gossypium barbadense L., and pure lines were used to examine genetic diversity using iPBS-retrotransposon markers system. Eleven highly polymorphic primers yielded 287 bands and 99.65% polymorphism was recorded. The mean polymorphism information content was estimated at 0.297 and the average diversity indices for the effective number of alleles, Shannon's information index, and overall gene diversity were 1.481, 0.443, and 0.265, respectively. The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed that 69% of the genetic variation was within the population. A model-based STRUCTURE algorithm divided the entire germplasm into four populations and one un-classified population, the genotypes G42 (originating in Egypt) and G128 (originating in the United States), showed the highest genetic distance (0.996) so these genotypes could be suggested for breeding programs as parental lines. CONCLUSIONS This is the first investigation using an iPBS-retrotransposon marker system to examine the genetic diversity and population structure of upland cotton germplasm. The rich diversity found in upland cotton germplasm could be exploited as a genetic resource when developing breeding programs and could also help with efforts to breed cotton around the world. These findings also show the applicability and effectiveness of iPBS-retrotransposons for the molecular characterization of cotton germplasm.

Abstract
Introgression of superior fiber traits from Pima cotton (Gossypium barbadense, GB) into high yield Upland cotton (G. hirsutum) has been a breeding objective for many years in a few breeding programs in the world. However, progress has been very slow due to introgression barriers resulting from whole genome hybridization between the two species. To minimize such barriers, chromosome substitution lines (CS-B) from Pima cotton 3-79 in an Upland cotton cultivar TM-1 were developed. A multiparent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population consisting of 180 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was subsequently made using the 18 CS-B lines and three Upland cotton cultivars as parents. In this research, we sequenced the whole genomes of the 21 parents and 180 RILs to examine the G. barbadense introgression. Of the 18 CS-B lines, 11 contained the target GB chromosome or chromosome segment, two contained more than two GB chromosomes, and five did not have the expected introgression. Residual introgression in non-target chromosomes was prevalent in all CS-B lines. A clear structure existed in the MAGIC population and the 180 RILs were distributed into three groups, i.e., high, moderate, and low GB introgression. Large blocks of GB chromosome introgression were still present in some RILs after five cycles of random-mating, an indication of recombination suppression or other unknown reasons present in the population. Identity by descent analysis revealed that the MAGIC RILs contained less introgression than expected. This research presents an insight on understanding the complex problems of introgression between cotton species.

Abstract
Ascorbate oxidase (AO) and skewed5 (SKU5)-similar (SKS) proteins belong to the multicopper oxidase (MCO) family and play important roles in plants in response to environmental stress via modulation of oxidoreduction homeostasis. Currently, reports on the response of Gossypium barbadense MCO to Verticillium wilt (VW) caused by Verticillium dahliae are still limited. Herein, RNA sequencing of two G. barbadense cultivars of VW-resistant XH21 and VW-susceptible XH7 under V. dahliae treatment, combined with physiological and genetic analysis, was performed to analyze the function and mechanism of multicopper oxidases GbAO and GbSKS involved in V. dahliae resistance. The identified differentially expressed genes are mainly involved in the regulation of oxidoreduction reaction, and extracellular components and signaling. Interestingly, ascorbate oxidase family members were discovered as the most significantly upregulated genes after V. dahliae treatment, including GbAO3A/D, GbSKS3A/D, and GbSKS16A/D. H2O2 and Asc contents, especially reductive Asc in both XH21 and XH7, were shown to be increased. Silenced expression of respective GbAO3A/D, GbSKS3A/D, and GbSKS16A/D in virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) cotton plants significantly decreased the resistance to V. dahliae, coupled with the reduced contents of pectin and lignin. Our results indicate that AO might be involved in cotton VW resistance via the regulation of cell wall components.

Abstract
PREMISE The shape of young cotton (Gossypium) fibers varies within and between commercial cotton species, as revealed by previous detailed analyses of one cultivar of G. hirsutum and one of G. barbadense. Both narrow and wide fibers exist in G. hirsutum cv. Deltapine 90, which may impact the quality of our most abundant renewable textile material. More efficient cellular phenotyping methods are needed to empower future research efforts. METHODS We developed semi-automated imaging methods for young cotton fibers and a novel machine learning algorithm for the rapid detection of tapered (narrow) or hemisphere (wide) fibers in homogeneous or mixed populations. RESULTS The new methods were accurate for diverse accessions of G. hirsutum and G. barbadense and at least eight times more efficient than manual methods. Narrow fibers dominated in the three G. barbadense accessions analyzed, whereas the three G. hirsutum accessions showed a mixture of tapered and hemisphere fibers in varying proportions. DISCUSSION The use or adaptation of these improved methods will facilitate experiments with higher throughput to understand the biological factors controlling the variable shapes of young cotton fibers or other elongating single cells. This research also enables the exploration of links between early cell shape and mature cotton fiber quality in diverse field-grown cotton accessions.

Abstract
Background PIN proteins are an important class of auxin polar transport proteins that play an important regulatory role in plant growth and development. However, their characteristics and functions have not been identified in Gossypium barbadense. Methods PIN family genes were identified in the cotton species G. barbadense, Gossypium hirsutum, Gossypium raimondii, and Gossypium arboreum, and detailed bioinformatics analyses were conducted to explore the roles of these genes in G. barbadense using transcriptome data and quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) technology. Functional verification of the genes was performed using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technology. Results A total of 138 PIN family genes were identified in the four cotton species; the genes were divided into seven subgroups. GbPIN gene family members were widely distributed on 20 different chromosomes, and most had repeated duplication events. Transcriptome analysis showed that some genes had differential expression patterns in different stages of fiber development. According to 'PimaS-7' and '5917' transcript component association analysis, the transcription of five genes was directly related to endogenous auxin content in cotton fibers. qRT-PCR analysis showed that the GbPIN7 gene was routinely expressed during fiber development, and there were significant differences among materials. Transient silencing of the GbPIN7 gene by VIGS led to significantly higher cotton plant growth rates and significantly lower endogenous auxin content in leaves and stems. This study provides comprehensive analyses of the roles of PIN family genes in G. barbadense and their expression during cotton fiber development. Our results will form a basis for further PIN auxin transporter research.

Abstract
To generate high-yielding cultivars with favorable fiber quality traits, cotton breeders can use information about combining ability and gene activity within a population to locate elite parents and potential F1 crosses. To this end, in the current study, twelve cotton parents (eight genotypes as female parents and four testers) and their F1 crosses obtained utilizing the linex tester mating design were evaluated for their general and specialized combining abilities (GCA and SCA, respectively) of yield traits. The findings showed that for all the investigated variables, variances owing to genotypes, parents, crosses, and parent vs cross showed extremely significant (P ≤ 0.01) differences. Additionally, throughout the course of two growing seasons, the mean squares for genotypes (parents and crosses) showed strong significance for all the variables under study. The greatest and most desired means for all the examined qualities were in the parent G.94, Pima S6, and tester G.86. The best crossings for the qualities examined were G.86 (G.89 × G.86), G.93 × Suvin, and G.86 × Suvin. The parents' Suvin, G89x G86 and TNB were shown to have the most desired general combining ability effects for seed cotton yield/plant, lint yield/plant, boll weight, number of bolls/plants, and lint index, while Suvin, G.96 and pima S6 were preferred for favored lint percentage. For seed cotton yield, lint percentage, boll weight, and number of bolls per plant per year, the cross-G.86 x (G.89 × G.86) displayed highly significant specific combining ability impacts. The crosses G.86 × Suvin, Kar x TNB, G.93 × Suvin, and G.93 × TNB for all the studied traits for each year and their combined were found to have highly significant positive heterotic effects relative to better parent, and they could be used in future cotton breeding programs for improving the studied traits.

Abstract
Rhizosphere microbial communities are recognized as crucial products of intimate interactions between plant and soil, playing important roles in plant growth and health. Enhancing the understanding of this process is a promising way to promote the next green revolution by applying the multifunctional benefits coming with rhizosphere microbiomes. In this study, we propagated eight cotton genotypes (four upland cotton cultivars and four sea-land cotton cultivars) with varying levels of resistance to Verticillium dahliae in three distinct soil types. Amplicon sequencing was applied to profile both bacterial and fungal communities in the rhizosphere of cotton. The results revealed that soil origin was the primary factor causing divergence in rhizosphere microbial community, with plant genotype playing a secondary role. The Shannon and Simpson indices revealed no significant differences in the rhizosphere microbial communities of Gossypium barbadense and G. hirsutum. Soil origin accounted for 34.0 and 59.05% of the total variability in the PCA of the rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities, respectively, while plant genotypes within species only accounted for 1.1 to 6.6% of the total variability among microbial population. Similar results were observed in the Bray-Curtis indices. Interestingly, the relative abundance of Acidobacteria phylum in G. barbadense was greater in comparison with that of G. hirsutum. These findings suggested that soil origin and cotton genotype modulated microbiome assembly with soil predominantly shaping rhizosphere microbiome assembly, while host genotype slightly tuned this recruitment process by changing the abundance of specific microbial consortia.

Abstract
Fusarium wilt of cotton, caused by the soilborne fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (FOV), occurs in regions of the United States where cotton (Gossypium spp.) is grown. Race 4 of this pathogen (FOV4) is especially aggressive, and does not require the co-occurrence of the root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) to infect cotton. Its sudden appearance in far-west Texas in 2016 after many years of being restricted to California is of great concern, as is the threat of its continued spread through the cotton-producing regions of the United States. The aim of this research was to analyze the spatial variability of FOV4 inoculum density in the location where FOV4 is locally emerging, using quantitative and droplet digital PCR methods. Soil samples collected from a field with known FOV4 incidence in Fabens, Texas, were analyzed. Appreciable variation in inoculum density was found to occur at spatial scales smaller than the size of plots involved in cultivar trial research, and was spatially autocorrelated (Moran's I, Z = 17.73, P < 0.0001). These findings indicate that, for cultivar trials, accounting for the spatial distribution of inoculum, either by directly quantifying it or through the use of densely distributed calibration checks, is important to the interpretation of results.

Abstract
In previous research on the resistance of cotton to Verticillium wilt (VW), Gossypium hirsutum and G. barbadense were usually used as the susceptible and resistant cotton species, despite their different genetic backgrounds. Herein, we present data independent acquisition (DIA)-based comparative proteomic analysis of two G. barbadense cultivars differing in VW tolerance, susceptible XH7 and resistant XH21. A total of 4,118 proteins were identified, and 885 of them were differentially abundant proteins (DAPs). Eight co-expressed modules were identified through weighted gene co-expression network analysis. GO enrichment analysis of the module that significantly correlated with V. dahliae infection time revealed that oxidoreductase and peroxidase were the most significantly enriched GO terms. The last-step rate-limiting enzyme for ascorbate acid (AsA) biosynthesis was further uncovered in the significantly enriched GO terms of the 184 XH21-specific DAPs. Additionally, the expression of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) members showed quick accumulation after inoculation. Compared to XH7, XH21 contained consistently higher AsA contents and rapidly increased levels of APX expression, suggesting their potential importance for the resistance to V. dahliae. Silencing GbAPX1/12 in both XH7 and XH 21 resulted in a dramatic reduction in VW resistance. Our data indicate that APX-mediated oxidoreductive metabolism is important for VW resistance in cotton.

Abstract
Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) has long been an important fiber crop, but the narrow genetic diversity of modern G. hirsutum limits the potential for simultaneous improvement of yield and fiber quality. It is an effective approach to broaden the genetic base of G. hirsutum through introgression of novel alleles from G. barbadense with excellent fiber quality. In the present study, an interspecific chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) population was established using G. barbadense cultivar Pima S-7 as the donor parent and G. hirsutum cultivar CCRI35 as the recipient parent. A total of 105 quantitative trait loci (QTL), including 85 QTL for fiber quality and 20 QTL for lint percentage (LP), were identified based on phenotypic data collected from four environments. Among these QTL, 25 stable QTL were detected in two or more environments, including four for LP, eleven for fiber length (FL), three for fiber strength (FS), six for fiber micronaire (FM), and one for fiber elongation (FE). Eleven QTL clusters were observed on nine chromosomes, of which seven QTL clusters harbored stable QTL. Moreover, eleven major QTL for fiber quality were verified through analysis of introgressed segments of the eight superior lines with the best comprehensive phenotypes. A total of 586 putative candidate genes were identified for 25 stable QTL associated with lint percentage and fiber quality through transcriptome analysis. Furthermore, three candidate genes for FL, GH_A08G1681 (GhSCPL40), GH_A12G2328 (GhPBL19), and GH_D02G0370 (GhHSP22.7), and one candidate gene for FM, GH_D05G1346 (GhAPG), were identified through RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR analysis. These results lay the foundation for understanding the molecular regulatory mechanism of fiber development and provide valuable information for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in cotton breeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carboxylesterase (CXE) is a type of hydrolase with α/β sheet hydrolase activity widely found in animals, plants and microorganisms, which plays an important role in plant growth, development and resistance to stress. RESULTS A total of 72, 74, 39, 38 CXE genes were identified in Gossypium barbadense, Gossypium hirsutum, Gossypium raimondii and Gossypium arboreum, respectively. The gene structure and expression pattern were analyzed. The GBCXE genes were divided into 6 subgroups, and the chromosome distribution of members of the family were mapped. Analysis of promoter cis-acting elements showed that most GBCXE genes contain cis-elements related to plant hormones (GA, IAA) or abiotic stress. These 6 genes we screened out were expressed in the root, stem and leaf tissues. Combined with the heat map, GBCXE49 gene was selected for subcellular locate and confirmed that the protein was expressed in the cytoplasm. CONCLUSIONS The collinearity analysis of the CXE genes of the four cotton species in this family indicated that tandem replication played an indispensable role in the evolution of the CXE gene family. The expression patterns of GBCXE gene under different stress treatments indicated that GBCXE gene may significantly participate in the response to salt and alkaline stress through different mechanisms. Through the virus-induced gene silencing technology (VIGS), it was speculated that GBCXE49 gene was involved in the response to alkaline stress in G. barbadense.

Abstract
Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense are the widely cultivated tetraploid cottons around the world, which evolved great differences in the fiber yield and quality due to the independent domestication process. To reveal the genetic basis of the difference, we integrated 90 samples from ten time points during the fiber developmental period for investigating the dynamics of gene expression changes associated with fiber in G. hirsutum acc. TM-1 and G. barbadense cv. Hai7124 and acc. 3-79. Globally, 44,484 genes expressed in all three cultivars account for 61.14% of the total genes. About 61.39% (N = 3,412) of the cotton transcription factors were involved in fiber development, which consisted of 58 cotton TF families. The differential analysis of intra- and interspecies showed that 3 DPA had more expression changes. To discover the genes with temporally changed expression profiles during the whole fiber development, 1,850 genes predominantly expressed in G. hirsutum and 1,050 in G. barbadense were identified, respectively. Based on the weighted gene co-expression network and time-course analysis, several candidate genes, mainly involved in the secondary cell wall synthesis and phytohormones, were identified in this study, underlying possibly the transcriptional regulation and molecular mechanisms of the fiber quality differences between G. barbadense and G. hirsutum. The quantitative real-time PCR validation of the candidate genes was consistent with the RNA-seq data. Our study provides a strong rationale for the analysis of gene function and breeding of high-quality cotton.

Abstract
Seed size and shape are key agronomic traits affecting seedcotton yield and seed quality in cotton (Gossypium spp.). However, the genetic mechanisms that regulate the seed physical traits in cotton are largely unknown. In this study, an interspecific backcross inbred line (BIL) population of 250 BC1F7 lines, derived from the recurrent parent Upland CRI36 (Gossypium hirsutum) and Hai7124 (Gossypium barbadense), was used to investigate the genetic basis of cotton seed physical traits via quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping and candidate gene identification. The BILs were tested in five environments, measuring eight seed size and shape-related traits, including 100-kernel weight, kernel length width and their ratio, kernel area, kernel girth, kernel diameter, and kernel roundness. Based on 7,709 single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers, a total of 49 QTLs were detected and each explained 2.91-35.01% of the phenotypic variation, including nine stable QTLs mapped in at least three environments. Based on pathway enrichment, gene annotation, genome sequence, and expression analysis, five genes encoding starch synthase 4, transcription factor PIF7 and MYC4, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E27, and THO complex subunit 4A were identified as candidate genes that might be associated with seed size and shape. Our research provides valuable information to improve seed physical traits in cotton breeding.

Abstract
Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (FOV) is one of the most destructive diseases in cotton (Gossypium spp.) production, and use of resistant cultivars is the most cost-effective method managing the disease. To understand the genetic basis of cotton resistance to FOV race 7 (FOV7), this study evaluated a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of 110 lines of G. barbadense from a cross between susceptible Xinhai 14 and resistant 06-146 in eight tests and constructed a high-density genetic linkage map with resequencing-based 933,845 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers covering a total genetic distance of 2483.17 cM. Nine quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for FOV7 resistance were identified, including qFOV7-D03-1 on chromosome D03 in two tests. Through a comparative analysis of gene expression and DNA sequence for predicted genes within the QTL region between the two parents and selected lines inoculated with FOV7, GB_D03G0217 encoding for a calmodulin (CaM)-like (CML) protein was identified as a candidate gene. A further analysis confirmed that the expression of GB_D03G0217 was suppressed, leading to increased disease severity in plants of the resistant parent with virus induced gene silencing (VIGS).

Abstract
Plant 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (KCS) gene family catalyzed a β ketoacyl-CoA synthase, which was the rate-limiting enzyme for the synthesis of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). Gossypium barbadense was well-known not only for high-quality fiber, which was perceived as a cultivated species of Gossypium. In this study, a total of 131 KCS genes were identified in four cotton species, there were 38, 44, 26, 23 KCS genes in the G. barbadense, the G. hirsutum, the G. arboreum and G. raimondii, respectively. The gene structure and expression pattern were analyzed. GBKCS genes were divided into six subgroups, the chromosome distribution of members of the family were mapped. The prediction of cis-acting elements of the GBKCS gene promoters suggested that the GBKCS genes may be involved in hormone signaling, defense and the stress response. Collinearity analysis on the KCS genes of the four cotton species were formulated. Tandem duplication played an indispensable role in the evolution of the KCS gene family. Specific expression analysis of 20 GBKCS genes indicated that GBKCS gene were widely expressed in the first 25 days of fiber development. Among them, GBKCS3, GBKCS8, GBKCS20, GBKCS34 were expressed at a high level in the initial long-term level of the G. barbadense fiber. This study established a foundation to further understanding of the evolution of KCS genes and analyze the function of GBKCS genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Calcium dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are a class of important calcium signal sensing response proteins, which play an important regulatory role in response to abiotic stress. However, researchers have not been excavated CDPKs' role in drought in sea-island cotton(Gossypium barbadense L. 'H7124'). RESULTS Eighty-four CDPK genes have been identified in G. barbadense. These GbCDPK genes are unevenly distributed on 26 chromosomes, and segmental duplication is the significant way for the extension of CDPK family. Also, members within the same subfamily share a similar gene structure and motif composition. There are a large number of cis-elements involved in plant growth and response to stresses in the promoter regions of GbCDPKs. Additionally, these GbCDPKs show differential expression patterns in cotton tissues. The transcription levels of most genes were markedly altered in cotton under heat, cold, salt and PEG treatments, while the expressions of some GbCDPKs were induced in cotton under drought stress. Among these drought-induced genes, we selected GbCDPK32, GbCDPK68, GbCDPK74, GbCDPK80 and GbCDPK83 for further functional characterization by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) method. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the principal findings of this prospective study are that CDPKs were associated with drought. These findings provide a solid foundation for the development of future molecular mechanism in sea-island cotton.

Abstract
Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) is world-renowned for its superior natural fiber. Although fiber strength is one of the most important fiber quality traits, genes contributing to fiber strength are poorly understood. Production of sea island cotton also is inextricably linked to improving its relatively low yield, thus enhancing the importance of joint improvement of both fiber quality and yield. We used genomic variation to uncover the genetic evidence of trait improvement resulting from pedigree breeding of Sea Island cotton. This pedigree was aimed at improving fiber strength and yielded an elite cultivar, XH35. Using a combination of genome-wide association study (GWAS) and selection screens, we detected 82 putative fiber-strength-related genes. Expression analysis confirmed a calmodulin-like gene, GbCML7, which enhanced fiber strength in a specific haplotype. This gene is a major-effect gene, which interacts with a minor-effect gene, GbTUA3, facilitating the enhancement of fiber strength in a synergistic fashion. Moreover, GbCML7 participates in the cooperative improvement of fiber strength, fiber length, and fiber uniformity, though a slight compromise exists between the first two of these traits and the latter. Importantly, GbCML7 is shown to boost yield in some backgrounds by increasing multiple yield components to varying degrees, especially boll number. Our work provides valuable genomic evidence and a key genetic factor for the joint improvement of fiber quality and yield in Sea Island cotton.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE A backcross inbred line population of cotton was evaluated for Fusarium wilt race 4 resistance at different days after inoculation (DAI). Both constitutively expressed and developmentally regulated QTLs were detected. The soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (FOV) race 4 (FOV4) causes Fusarium wilt including seedling mortality in cotton. A backcross inbred line (BIL) population of 181 lines, derived from a bi-parental cross of moderately resistant non-recurrent Hai 7124 (Gossypium barbadense) and recurrent parent CCRI 36 (G. hirsutum), was evaluated under temperature-controlled conditions for FOV4 resistance with artificial inoculations. Based on three replicated tests evaluated at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after inoculation (DAI), only 2-5 BILs showed lower disease severity ratings (DSR) than the parents while 22-50 BILs were more susceptible, indicating transgressive segregation toward susceptibility. Although DSR were overall congruent between DAI, there were many BILs displaying different responses to FOV4 across DAI. Genetic mapping using 7709 SNP markers identified 42 unique QTLs for four evaluation parameters- disease incidence (DI), DSR, mortality rate (MR), and area under disease progress curve (AUDPC), including 26 for two or more parameters. All five QTLs for AUDPC were co-localized with QTLs for DI, DSR, and/or MR at one or two DAI, indicating the unnecessary use of AUDPC in QTL mapping for FOV4 resistance. Those common QTLs explained the significant positive associations between parameters observed. Ten common QTLs with negative or positive additive effects were detected between DAI. DAI-specific and consistent QTLs were detected between DAI in cotton for the first time, suggesting the existence of both constitutively expressed and developmentally regulated QTLs for FOV4 resistance and the importance of evaluating genetic populations for FOV4 resistance at different growth stages.

Abstract
Cotton is the most important crop for the production of natural fibres used in the textile industry. High salinity, drought, cold and high temperature represent serious abiotic stresses, which seriously threaten cotton production. Phospholipase AS has an irreplaceable role in lipid signal transmission, growth and development and stress events. Phospholipase A can be divided into three families: PLA1, PLA2 and pPLA. Among them, the PLA1 family is rarely studied in plants. In order to study the potential functions of the PLA1 family in cotton, the bioinformatics analysis of the PLA1 family was correlated with cotton adversity, and tissue-specific analysis was performed. Explore the structure-function relationship of PLA1 members. It is found that the expression of GbPLA1-32 gene is affected by a variety of environmental stimuli, indicating that it plays a very important role in stress and hormone response, and closely associates the cotton adversity with this family. Through further functional verification, we found that virus-induced GbPLA1-32 gene silencing (VIGS) caused Gossypium barbadense to be sensitive to salt stress. This research provides an important basis for further research on the molecular mechanism of cotton resistance to abiotic stress.

Abstract
Gossypium barbadense is a cultivated cotton not only known for producing superior fiber but also for its salt and alkaline resistance. Here, we used Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) technology to map the cytosine methylation of the whole genome of the G. barbadense hypocotyl at single base resolution. The methylation sequencing results showed that the mapping rates of the three samples were 75.32, 77.54, and 77.94%, respectively. In addition, the Bisulfite Sequence (BS) conversion rate was 99.78%. Approximately 71.03, 53.87, and 6.26% of the cytosine were methylated at CG, CHG, and CHH sequence contexts, respectively. A comprehensive analysis of DNA methylation and transcriptome data showed that the methylation level of the promoter region was a positive correlation in the CHH context. Saline-alkaline stress was related to the methylation changes of many genes, transcription factors (TFs) and transposable elements (TEs), respectively. We explored the regulatory mechanism of DNA methylation in response to salt and alkaline stress during cotton hypocotyl elongation. Our data shed light into the relationship of methylation regulation at the germination stage of G. barbadense hypocotyl cell elongation and salt-alkali treatment. The results of this research help understand the early growth regulation mechanism of G. barbadense in response to abiotic stress.

Abstract
ZnO-based nanomaterials have high antifungal effects, such as inhibition of growth and reproduction of some pathogenic fungi, such as Fusarium sp., Rhizoctonia solani and Macrophomina phaseolina. Therefore, we report the extracellular synthesis of ZnONPs using a potential fungal antagonist (Trichoderma harzianum). ZnONPs were then characterized for their size, shape, charge and composition by visual analysis, UV–visible spectrometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The TEM test confirmed that the size of the produced ZnONPs was 8–23 nm. The green synthesized ZnONPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies to reveal the functional group attributed to the formation of ZnONPs. For the first time, trichogenic ZnONPs were shown to have fungicidal action against three soil–cotton pathogenic fungi in the laboratory and greenhouse. An antifungal examination was used to evaluate the bioactivity of the mycogenic ZnONPs in addition to two chemical fungicides (Moncut and Maxim XL) against three soil-borne pathogens, including Fusarium sp., Rhizoctonia solani and Macrophomina phaseolina. The findings of this study show a novel fungicidal activity in in vitro assay for complete inhibition of fungal growth of tested plant pathogenic fungi, as well as a considerable reduction in cotton seedling disease symptoms under greenhouse conditions. The formulation of a trichogenic ZnONPs form was found to increase its antifungal effect significantly. Finally, the utilization of biocontrol agents, such as T. harzianum, could be a safe strategy for the synthesis of a medium-scale of ZnONPs and employ it for fungal disease control in cotton.

Abstract
Genetic variation in a G. barbadense population was revealed using resquencing. GWAS on G.barbadense population identified several candidate genes associated with fiber strength and lint percentage. Gossypium barbadense is the second-largest cultivated cotton species planted in the world, which is characterized by high fiber quality. Here, we described the global pattern of genetic polymorphisms for 240 G. barbadense accessions based on the whole-genome resequencing. A total of 3,632,231 qualified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 221,354 insertion-deletions (indels) were obtained. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 12 traits under four environments. Two traits with more stable associated variants, fiber strength and lint percentage, were chosen for further analysis. Three putative candidate genes, HD16 orthology (GB_D11G3437), WDL2 orthology (GB_D11G3460) and TUBA1 orthology (GB_D11G3471), on chromosome D11 were found to be associated with fiber strength, and one gene orthologous to Arabidopsis Receptor-like protein kinase HERK 1 (GB_A07G1034) was predicated to be the candidate gene for the lint percentage improvement. The identified genes may serve as promising targets for genetic engineering to accelerate the breeding process for G. barbadense and the high-density genome variation map constructed in this work may facilitate our understanding of the genetic architecture of cotton traits.

Abstract
Variable cotton fiber diameter is set early in anisotropic elongation by cell-type-specific processes involving the temporal and spatial regulation of microtubules in the apical region. Cotton fibers are single cells that originate from the seed epidermis of Gossypium species. Then, they undergo extreme anisotropic elongation and limited diametric expansion. The details of cellular morphogenesis determine the quality traits that affect fiber uses and value, such as length, strength, and diameter. Lower and more consistent diameter would increase the competitiveness of cotton fiber with synthetic fiber, but we do not know how this trait is controlled. The complexity of the question is indicated by the existence of fibers in two major width classes in the major commercial species: broad and narrow fibers exist in commonly grown G. hirsutum, whereas G. barbadense produces only narrow fiber. To further understand how fiber diameter is controlled, we used ovule cultures, morphology measurements, and microtubule immunofluorescence to observe the effects of microtubule antagonists on fiber morphology, including shape and diameter within 80 µm of the apex. The treatments were applied at either one or two days post-anthesis during different stages of fiber morphogenesis. The results showed that inhibiting the presence and/or dynamic activity of microtubules caused larger diameter tips to form, with greater effects often observed with earlier treatment. The presence and geometry of a microtubule-depleted-zone below the apex were transiently correlated with the apical diameter of the narrow tip types. Similarly, the microtubule antagonists had somewhat different effects between tip types. Overall, the results demonstrate cell-type-specific mechanisms regulating fiber expansion within 80 µm of the apex, with variation in the impact of microtubules between tip types and over developmental time.

Abstract
Cotton is the most important fiber crop and provides indispensable natural fibers for the textile industry. Micronaire (MIC) is determined by fiber fineness and maturity and is an important component of fiber quality. Gossypium barbadense L. possesses long, strong and fine fibers, while upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is high yielding with high MIC and widely cultivated worldwide. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes for MIC in G. barbadense, a population of 250 backcross inbred lines (BILs), developed from an interspecific cross of upland cotton CRI36 × Egyptian cotton (G. barbadense) Hai7124, was evaluated in 9 replicated field tests. Based on a high-density genetic map with 7709 genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS)-based single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, 25 MIC QTLs were identified, including 12 previously described QTLs and 13 new QTLs. Importantly, two stable MIC QTLs (qMIC-D03-2 on D03 and qMIC-D08-1 on D08) were identified. Of a total of 338 genes identified within the two QTL regions, eight candidate genes with differential expression between TM-1 and Hai7124 were identified. Our research provides valuable information for improving MIC in cotton breeding.

Abstract
Gossypium barbadense is an important source of natural textile fibers, as is Gossypium hirsutum. Cotton fiber development is often affected by various environmental factors, such as abnormal temperature. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms of temperature regulating the fuzz fiber initiation. In this study, we reveal that high temperatures (HT) accelerate fiber development, improve fiber quality, and induced fuzz initiation of a thermo-sensitive G. barbadense variety L7009. It was proved that fuzz initiation was inhibited by low temperature (LT), and 4 dpa was the stage most susceptible to temperature stress during the fuzz initiation period. A total of 43,826 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified through comparative transcriptome analysis. Of these, 9667 were involved in fiber development and temperature response with 901 transcription factor genes and 189 genes related to plant hormone signal transduction. Further analysis of gene expression patterns revealed that 240 genes were potentially involved in fuzz initiation induced by high temperature. Functional annotation revealed that the candidate genes related to fuzz initiation were significantly involved in the asparagine biosynthetic process, cell wall biosynthesis, and stress response. The expression trends of sixteen genes randomly selected from the RNA-seq data were almost consistent with the results of qRT-PCR. Our study revealed several potential candidate genes and pathways related to fuzz initiation induced by high temperature. This provides a new view of temperature-induced tissue and organ development in Gossypium barbadense.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sea island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) has markedly superior high quality fibers, which plays an important role in the textile industry and acts as a donor for upland cotton (G. hirsutum) fiber quality improvement. The genetic characteristics analysis and the identification of key genes will be helpful to understand the mechanism of fiber development and breeding utilization in sea island cotton. RESULTS In this study, 279 sea island cotton accessions were collected from different origins for genotyping and phenotyping fiber quality traits. A set of 6303 high quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were obtained by high-density CottonSNP80K array. The population characteristics showed that the sea island cotton accessions had wide genetic diversity and were clustered into three groups, with Group1 closely related to Menoufi, an original sea island cotton landrace, and Group2 and Group3 related to widely introduced accessions from Egypt, USA and Former Soviet Union. Further, we used 249 accessions and evaluated five fiber quality traits under normal and salt environments over 2 years. Except for fiber uniformity (FU), fiber length (FL) and fiber elongation (FE) were significantly decreased in salt conditions, while fiber strength (FS) and fiber micronaire (MIC) were increased. Based on 6303 SNPs and genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis, a total of 34 stable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified for the five fiber quality traits with 25 detected simultaneously under normal and salt environments. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis indicated that candidate genes in the 25 overlapped QTLs were enriched mostly in "cellular and biological process". In addition, "xylem development" and "response to hormone" pathways were also found. Haplotype analyses found that GB_A03G0335 encoding an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase in QTL TM6004 had SNP variation (A/C) in gene region, was significantly correlated with FL, FS, FU, and FE, implying a crucial role in fiber quality. CONCLUSIONS The present study provides a foundation for genetic diversity of sea island cotton accessions and will contribute to fiber quality improvement in breeding practice.

Abstract
A highly virulent race 4 genotype of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) was identified for the first time in the western hemisphere in 2002 in cotton fields in the San Joaquin Valley of California. The Gossypium barbadense L. cotton cultivars 'Seabrook Sea Island 12B2' ('SBSI') and 'Pima S-6' are resistant to Fov race 4. Active defense responses were quantitated by monitoring the accumulation of antimicrobial terpenoids (i.e., phytoalexins) in inoculated stem stele tissue in these cultivars. The increase in the concentration of the most toxic phytoalexins was statistically faster after 24 h in 'SBSI' compared to 'Pima S-6'. The sesquiterpenoid hemigossylic acid lactone, which was observed for the first time in nature, also accumulated in diseased plants. Neither hemigossylic acid lactone nor the disesquiterpenoids gossypol, gossypol-6-methyl ether, and gossypol-6,6'-dimethyl ether showed toxicity to Fov. Segregation of F2 progeny from 'SBSI' × 'Pima S-6' crosses gave a few highly susceptible plants and a few highly resistant plants, indicating separate genes for resistance in the two cultivars.

Abstract
Background Gossypium barbadense (Sea Island, Egyptian or Pima cotton) cotton has high fiber quality, however, few studies have investigated the genetic basis of its traits using molecular markers. Genome complexity reduction approaches such as genotyping-by-sequencing have been utilized to develop abundant markers for the construction of high-density genetic maps to locate quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Results The Chinese G. barbadense cultivar 5917 and American Pima S-7 were used to develop a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population with 143 lines. The 143 RILs together with their parents were tested in three replicated field tests for lint yield traits (boll weight and lint percentage) and fiber quality traits (fiber length, fiber elongation, fiber strength, fiber uniformity and micronaire) and then genotyped using GBS to develop single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. A high-density genetic map with 26 linkage groups (LGs) was constructed using 3557 GBS SNPs spanning a total genetic distance of 3076.23 cM at an average density of 1.09 cM between adjacent markers. A total of 42 QTLs were identified, including 24 QTLs on 12 LGs for fiber quality and 18 QTLs on 7 LGs for lint yield traits, with LG1 (9 QTLs), LG10 (7 QTLs) and LG14 (6 QTLs) carrying more QTLs. Common QTLs for the same traits and overlapping QTLs for different traits were detected. Each individual QTLs explained 0.97 to 20.7% of the phenotypic variation. Conclusions This study represents one of the first genetic mapping studies on the fiber quality and lint yield traits in a RIL population of G. barbadense using GBS-SNPs. The results provide important information for the subsequent fine mapping of QTLs and the prediction of candidate genes towards map-based cloning and marker-assisted selection in cotton.

Abstract
Wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae significantly reduces cotton yields, as host resistance in commercially cultivated Gossypium species is lacking. Understanding the molecular basis of disease resistance in non-commercial Gossypium species could galvanize the development of Verticillium wilt resistance in cultivated species. Nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) proteins play a central role in plant defence against pathogens. In this study, we focused on the relationship between a locus enriched with eight NBS-LRR genes and Verticillium wilt resistance in G. barbadense. Independent virus-induced gene silencing of each of the eight NBS-LRR genes in G. barbadense cultivar Hai 7124 revealed that silencing of GbaNA1 alone compromised the resistance of G. barbadense to V. dahliae isolate Vd991. In cultivar Hai 7124, GbaNA1 could be induced by V. dahliae isolate Vd991 and by ethylene, jasmonic acid and salicylic acid. Nuclear protein localization of GbaNA1 was demonstrated by transient expression. Sequencing of the GbaNA1 orthologue in nine G. hirsutum accessions revealed that all carried a non-functional allele, caused by a premature peptide truncation. In addition, all 10 G. barbadense and nine G. hirsutum accessions tested carried a full-length (∼1140 amino acids) homologue of the V. dahliae race 1 resistance gene Gbve1, although some sequence polymorphisms were observed. Verticillium dahliae Vd991 is a non-race 1 isolate that lacks the Ave1 gene. Thus, the resistance imparted by GbaNA1 appears to be mediated by a mechanism distinct from recognition of the fungal effector Ave1.

Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum race 4 (VCG0114), which causes root rot and wilt of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum and G. barbadense), has been identified recently for the first time in the western hemisphere in certain fields in the San Joaquin Valley of California. This pathotype produces copious quantities of the plant toxin fusaric acid (5-butyl-2-pyridinecarboxylic acid) compared to other isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) that are indigenous to the United States. Fusaric acid is toxic to cotton plants and may help the pathogen compete with other microbes in the soil. We found that a laboratory strain of the fungus Mucor rouxii converts fusaric acid into a newly identified compound, 8-hydroxyfusaric acid. The latter compound is significantly less phytotoxic to cotton than the parent compound. On the basis of bioassays of hydroxylated analogues of fusaric acid, hydroxylation of the butyl side chain of fusaric acid may affect a general detoxification of fusaric acid. Genes that control this hydroxylation may be useful in developing biocontrol agents to manage Fov.

Abstract
Ethylene-responsive factors (ERFs) are commonly considered to play an important role in pathogen defense responses. However, only few of ERF members have been characterized in Sea island cotton (Gossypium barbadense). Here, we reported a novel AP2/ERF transcription factors gene, named GbERFb which was cloned and identified from Sea island cotton by RACE. The expression of GbERFb was significantly induced by treatments with ethylene, Methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid, wounding, H2O2 and Verticillium dahliae (V. dahliae) infection. Bioinformatics analysis showed that GbERFb protein containing a conserved ERF DNA binding domain and a nuclear localization signal sequence, belonged to IXb subgroup of the ERF family. Further experiments demonstrated that GbERFb could bind the GCC box cis-acting element and interact with GbMAPKb (MAP kinase) directly in yeast. Over-expression of GbERFb in tobacco could increase the disease resistance to V. dahliae. The results suggest that the GbERFb, a new AP2/ERF transcription factor, could enhance the resistance to V. dahliae and be useful in improvement of crop resistance to pathogenes.

Abstract
An ethylene response-related factor, GbERF1-like, from Gossypium barbadense cv. '7124' involved in the defence response to Verticillium dahliae was characterized. GbERF1-like transcripts present ubiquitously in various tissues, with higher accumulation in flower organs. GbERF1-like was also responsive to defence-related phytohormones and V. dahliae infection. The downregulation of GbERF1-like increased the susceptibility of cotton plants to V. dahliae infection, while overexpression of this gene improved disease resistance in both cotton and Arabidopsis, coupled with activation of the pathogenesis-related proteins. Further analysis revealed that genes involved in lignin synthesis, such as PAL, C4H, C3H, HCT, CCoAOMT, CCR and F5H, showed higher expression levels in the overexpressing cotton and Arabidopsis lines and lower expression levels in the RNAi cotton lines. The expression levels of these genes increased obviously when the GbERF1-like-overexpressing plants were inoculated with V. dahliae. Meanwhile, significant differences in the content of whole lignin could be found in the stems of transgenic and wild-type plants after inoculation with V. dahliae, as revealed by metabolic and histochemical analysis. More lignin could be detected in GbERF1-like-overexpressing cotton and Arabidopsis but less in GbERF1-like-silencing cotton compared with wild-type plants. The ratio of S and G monomers in GbERF1-like-overexpressing cotton and Arabidopsis increased significantly after infection by V. dahliae. Moreover, our results showed that the promoters of GhHCT1 and AtPAL3 could be transactivated by GbERF1-like in vivo based on yeast one-hybrid assays and dual-luciferase reporter assays. Knockdown of GhHCT1 in GbERF1-like over-expressing cotton decreases resistance to V. dahliae. Collectively, our results suggest that GbERF1-like acts as a positive regulator in lignin synthesis and contributes substantially to resistance to V. dahliae in plants.

Abstract
A diversity reference set has been constructed for the Gossypium accessions in the US National Cotton Germplasm Collection to facilitate more extensive evaluation and utilization of accessions held in the Collection. A set of 105 mapped simple sequence repeat markers was used to study the allelic diversity of 1933 tetraploid Gossypium accessions representative of the range of diversity of the improved and wild accessions of G. hirsutum and G. barbadense. The reference set contained 410 G. barbadense accessions and 1523 G. hirsutum accessions. Observed numbers of polymorphic and private bands indicated a greater diversity in G. hirsutum as compared to G. barbadense as well as in wild-type accessions as compared to improved accessions in both species. The markers clearly differentiated the 2 species. Patterns of diversity within species were observed but not clearly delineated, with much overlap occurring between races and regions of origin for wild accessions and between historical and geographic breeding pools for cultivated accessions. Although the percentage of accessions showing introgression was higher among wild accessions than cultivars in both species, the average level of introgression within individual accessions, as indicated by species-specific bands, was much higher in wild accessions of G. hirsutum than in wild accessions of G. barbadense. The average level of introgression within individual accessions was higher in improved G. barbadense cultivars than in G. hirsutum cultivars. This molecular characterization reveals the levels and distributions of genetic diversity that will allow for better exploration and utilization of cotton genetic resources.

Abstract
Plant responses to ozone (O3 ) and water deficit (WD) are commonly observed, although less is known about their interaction. Stomatal conductance (gs ) is both an impact of these stressors and a protective response to them. Stomatal closure reduces inward flux of O3 and outward flux of water. Stomatal measurements are generally obtained at midday when gas exchange is maximal, but these may not be adequate surrogates for stomatal responses observed at other times of day, nor for non-stomatal responses. Here, we find in Pima cotton that stomatal responses to O3 observed at midday do not reflect responses at other times. Stomata were more responsive to O3 and WD near midday, despite being at quasi-steady state, than during periods of active opening or closing in morning or evening. Stomatal responsivity to O3 was not coincident with maximum gas exchange or with periods of active regulation, but coincident with plant sensitivity to O3 previously determined in this cultivar. Responses of pigmentation and shoot productivity were more closely related to stomatal responses at midday than to responses at other times of day under well-watered (WW) conditions, reflecting higher stomatal responsivity, sensitivity to O3 , and magnitude of midday gs . Under WD conditions, shoot responses were more closely related to early morning gs. Root responses were more closely related to early morning gs under both WW and WD. Responses of stomata to O3 at midday were not good surrogates for stomatal responses early or late in the day, and may not adequately predicting O3 flux under WD or when maximum ambient concentrations do not occur near midday.

Abstract
Cotton (Gossypium) stem trichomes are mostly single cells that arise from stem epidermal cells. In this study, a homeodomain-leucine zipper gene (HD1) was found to cosegregate with the dominant trichome locus previously designated as T1 and mapped to chromosome 6. Characterization of HD1 orthologs revealed that the absence of stem trichomes in modern Gossypium barbadense varieties is linked to a large retrotransposon insertion in the ninth exon, 2565 bp downstream from the initial codon in the At subgenome HD1 gene (At-GbHD1). In both the At and Dt subgenomes, reduced transcription of GbHD1 genes is caused by this insertion. The disruption of At-HD1 further affects the expression of downstream GbMYB25 and GbHOX3 genes. Analyses of primitive cultivated accessions identified another retrotransposon insertion event in the sixth exon of At-GbHD1 that might predate the previously identified retrotransposon in modern varieties. Although both retrotransposon insertions results in similar phenotypic changes, the timing of these two retrotransposon insertion events fits well with our current understanding of the history of cotton speciation and dispersal. Taken together, the results of genetics mapping, gene expression and association analyses suggest that GbHD1 is an important component that controls stem trichome development and is a promising candidate gene for the T1 locus. The interspecific phenotypic difference in stem trichome traits also may be attributable to HD1 inactivation associated with retrotransposon insertion.

Abstract
Drought stress negatively affects plant growth and limits plant productivity. Genes functioning in plant responses to drought stress are essential for the development of drought-tolerant crops. Here, we report that an R2R3-type MYB transcription factor gene in Gossypium barbadense, GbMYB5, confers drought tolerance in cotton and transgenic tobacco. Virus-induced gene silencing of GbMYB5 compromised the tolerance of cotton plantlets to drought stress and reduced the post-rewatering water recovery survival rate to 50% as compared with the 90% survival rate in the wild type (WT). Silencing GbMYB5 decreased proline content and antioxidant enzyme activities and increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content in cotton under drought stress. The expression levels of drought-inducible genes NCED3, RD22 and RD26 were not affected by the silencing of GbMYB5. However, GbMYB5-overexpressing tobacco lines displayed hypersensitivity to ABA and improved survival rates as well as reduced water loss rates under drought stress. Furthermore, stomatal size and the rate of opening of stomata were markedly decreased in transgenic tobacco. The overexpression of GbMYB5 enhanced the accumulation of proline and antioxidant enzymes while it reduced production of MDA in transgenic tobacco as compared with the WT under drought stress. The transcript levels of the antioxidant genes SOD, CAT and GST, polyamine biosynthesis genes ADC1 and SAMDC, the late embryogenesis abundant protein-encoding gene ERD10D and drought-responsive genes NCED3, BG and RD26 were generally higher in GbMYB5-overexpressing tobacco than in the WT under drought stress. Collectively, our data suggested that GbMYB5 was positively involved in the plant adaptive response to drought stress.

Abstract
To introgress the good fiber quality and yield from Gossypium barbadense into a commercial Upland cotton variety, a high-density simple sequence repeat (SSR) genetic linkage map was developed from a BC1 F1 population of Gossypium hirsutum × Gossypium barbadense. The map comprised 2,292 loci and covered 5115.16 centiMorgan (cM) of the cotton AD genome, with an average marker interval of 2.23 cM. Of the marker order for 1,577 common loci on this new map, 90.36% agrees well with the marker order on the D genome sequence genetic map. Compared with five published high-density SSR genetic maps, 53.14% of marker loci were newly discovered in this map. Twenty-six quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for lint percentage (LP) were identified on nine chromosomes. Nine stable or common QTLs could be used for marker-assisted selection. Fifty percent of the QTLs were from G. barbadense and increased LP by 1.07%-2.41%. These results indicated that the map could be used for screening chromosome substitution segments from G. barbadense in the Upland cotton background, identifying QTLs or genes from G. barbadense, and further developing the gene pyramiding effect for improving fiber yield and quality.

Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs) are 20-24 nucleotide non-coding small RNAs that play important roles in plant development. The stages of cotton fiber development include initiation, elongation, secondary wall thickening (SWT) and maturation. We constructed seven fiber RNA libraries representing the initiation, elongation and SWT stages. In total, 47 conserved miRNA families and seven candidate miRNAs were profiled using small RNA sequencing. Northern blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses revealed the dynamic expression of miRNAs during fiber development. In addition, 140 targets of 30 conserved miRNAs and 38 targets of five candidate miRNAs were identified through degradome sequencing. Analysis of correlated expression between miRNAs and their targets demonstrated that specific miRNAs suppressed the expression of transcription factors, SBP and MYB, a leucine-rich receptor-like protein kinase, a pectate lyase, α-tubulin, a UDP-glucuronic acid decarboxylase and cytochrome C oxidase subunit 1 to affect fiber development. Histochemical analyses detected the biological activity of miRNA156/157 in ovule and fiber development. Suppressing miRNA156/157 function resulted in the reduction of mature fiber length, illustrating that miRNA156/157 plays an essential role in fiber elongation.

Abstract
Forty-six accessions of G. hirsutum and two of G. barbadense were examined for resistance to Meloidogyne incognita race 3 and Rotylenchulus reniformis in environmental growth chamber experiments, with the objective of finding new sources of resistance. Only the G. barbadense accessions, TX-1347 and TX-1348, supported significantly less reproduction by R. reniformis than the susceptible control, Deltapine 16 (USDA accession SA-1186). However, they were highly susceptible to M. incognita race 3. The G. hirsutum accessions TX-1174, TX-1440, TX-2076, TX-2079, and TX-2107 had levels of resistance to M. incognita race 3 as great as or greater than those of Clevewilt 6 and Wild Mexican Jack Jones, which are the primary sources of resistance to M. incognita race 3 in the most resistant breeding lines. No accession was as resistant as the highly resistant line Auburn 623 RNR (SA-1492). Resistant accessions were from the Mexican coastal states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, Tabasco, Veracruz, and Yucatan. Populations of R. reniformis from Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, and of M. incognita race 3 from Mississippi, Texas, and California, had similar reproductive rates on resistant genotypes. Thus, new sources of resistance to M. incognita race 3 but not to R. reniformis were identified in wild accessions of G. hirsutum from southern Mexico.

Abstract
Field trials were conducted during 1990 to evaluate the effects of preplant soil fumigation with 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) on yield and fiber quality of furrow-irrigated cotton cultivars subjected to high population densities of Meloidogyne incognita. We measured the responses of eight upland cotton cultivars with different levels of root-knot nematode resistance and compared the responses of upland and Pima cottons. Reductions in lint weight ranged from 10 to 52% among cultivars grown in soil without 1,3-D fumigation compared with those grown in treated soil. Meloidogyne incognita reduced yields primarily by reducing the number of bolls on each plant, rather than by decreasing boll size. Cotton fiber quality varied among cultivars but was unaffected by M. incognita in either study. Upland cotton cultivar Acala 1517-88 and M-315/240 sustained less than half the yield reductions observed with M. incognita-susceptible cultivars Deltapine 41 and Paymaster 145. Sixty days after cotton emergence, fewer M. incognita second-stage juveniles were recovered from M-315/240 than all other cultivars.
