Analysis of transcriptome data and quantitative trait loci enables the identification of candidate genes responsible for fiber strength in Gossypium barbadense.

ABSTRACT: Gossypium barbadense possesses a superior fiber quality because of its fiber length and strength. An in-depth analysis of the underlying genetic mechanism could aid in filling the gap in research regarding fiber strength and could provide helpful information for Gossypium barbadense breeding. Three quantitative trait loci related to fiber strength were identified from a Gossypium barbadense recombinant inbred line (PimaS-7 × 5917) for further analysis. RNA sequencing was performed in the fiber tissues of PimaS-7 × 5917 0-35 days postanthesis. Four specific modules closely related to the secondary wall-thickening stage were obtained using the weighted gene coexpression network analysis. In total, 55 genes were identified as differentially expressed from 4 specific modules. Gene Ontology and
