Abstract
Cotton genus Gossypium L., especially its wild species, is rich in genetic diversity. However, this valuable genetic resource is barely used in cotton breeding programs. In part, due to photoperiod sensitivities, the genetic diversity of Gossypium remains largely untapped. Herein, we present a genetic analysis of morphological, cytological, and genomic changes from radiation-mediated mutagenesis that induced plant photoperiod insensitivity in the wild cotton of Gossypium hirsutum. Several morphological and agronomical traits were found to be highly inheritable using the progeny between the wild-type G. hirsutum subsp. purpurascens (El-Salvador) and its mutant line (Kupaysin). An analysis of pollen mother cells (PMCs) revealed quadrivalents that had an open ring shape and an adjoining type of divergence of chromosomes from translocation complexes. Using 336 SSR markers and 157 F2 progenies that were grown with parental genotypes and F1 hybrids in long day and short night conditions, five quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with cotton flowering were located on chromosomes At-05, At-11, and Dt-07. Nineteen candidate genes related to the flowering traits were suggested through molecular and in silico analysis. The DNA markers associated with the candidate genes, upon future functional analysis, would provide useful tools in marker-assisted selection (MAS) in cotton breeding programs for early flowering and maturity.
