Genome-Wide Dissection of the Genetic Basis for Drought Tolerance in Gossypium hirsutum L. Races.

ABSTRACT: Drought seriously threats the growth and development of Gossypium hirsutum L. To dissect the genetic basis for drought tolerance in the G. hirsutum L. germplasm, a population, consisting of 188 accessions of G. hirsutum races and a cultivar (TM-1), was genotyped using the Cotton80KSNP biochip, and 51,268 high-quality single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were obtained. Based on the phenotypic data of eight drought relative traits from four environments, we carried out association mapping with five models using GAPIT software. In total, thirty-six SNPs were detected significantly associated at least in two environments or two models. Among these SNPs, 8 and 28 (including 24 SNPs in 5 peak regions) were distributed in the A and D subgenome, respectively; eight SNPs were found to be distributed within separate genes. An SNP, TM73079, located on chromosome D10, was simultaneously associated with leaf fresh weight, leaf wilted weight, and leaf dry weight. Another nine SNPs, TM47696, TM33865, TM40383, TM10267, TM59672, TM59675, TM59677, TM72359, and TM72361, on chromosomes A13, A10, A12, A5, D6, and D9, were localized within or near previously reported quantitative trait loci for drought tolerance. Moreover, 520 genes located 200 kb up- and down-stream of 36 SNPs were obtained and analyzed based on gene annotation and transcriptome sequencing. The results showed that three candidate genes, Gh_D08G2462, Gh_A03G0043, and Gh_A12G0369, may play important roles in drought tolerance. The current GWAS represents the first investigation into mapping QTL for drought tolerance in G. hirsutum races and provides important information for improving cotton cultivars.

Project description:Cotton has prime importance in the global economy and governs socio-economic affairs of the world. Water scarcity and high temperature are major constraints that badly affect cotton production, which shows the need for the development of drought-tolerant varieties. Ten cotton genotypes, including three drought-tolerant and seven susceptible, were identified from a panel of diverse cotton genotypes at the seedling stage under two contrasting water regimes. Three lines were crossed with seven testers under line × tester mating design. The 21 F1 cross combinations along with 10 parents were evaluated under 100% non-stress (NS) and 50% drought stress (DS) filed capacity to assess the effects of drought stress and its inheritance in the next generation. All the genotypes were evaluated till the maturity stage for combining ability, heritability, and other genetic factors to understand the drought tolerance mechanisms. The proportional contribution of lines in the total variance evidenced that lines had a significant higher contribution in total variance for days to boll opening (DBO) of 10% and proline contents (PC) of 13% under DS conditions. It indicates that lines contributed more positive alleles for such traits. Under DS condition, DTV-9 × BT-252 and DTV-9 × DTV-10 had maximum negative specific combining ability (SCA) effects for DBO. Simultaneously, DBO also had higher heritability (h2) which indicates its dominant gene action and meanwhile, the importance of these combinations for the early mature and short duration variety development. The results revealed that most of the studied traits, including days taken to maturity, yield traits, and physiological traits, are under significant genetic control, with a strong genetic basis and have a huge potential for improving drought tolerance in cotton. Drought tolerance was found to have a strong association with early maturity and agro-climatic conditions of the cultivated areas. Identified superior parents in this study are suggested to use in the future breeding program to advance the cotton growth and drought tolerance.
