摘要： Key message Three extensive eco-haplotypes associated with population differentiation and environmental adaptability in Upland cotton were identified, with A06_85658585, A08_43734499 and A06_113104285 considered the eco-loci for environmental adaptability. Population divergence is suggested to be the primary force driving the evolution of environmental adaptability in various species. Chromosome inversion increases reproductive isolation between subspecies and accelerates population divergence to adapt to new environments. Although modern cultivated Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutumL.) has spread worldwide, the noticeable phenotypic differences still existed among cultivars grown in different areas. In recent years, the long-distance migration of cotton cultivation areas throughout China has demanded that breeders better understand the genetic basis of environmental adaptability in Upland cotton. Here, we integrated the genotypes of 419 diverse accessions, long-term environment-associated variables (EAVs) and environment-associated traits (EATs) to evaluate subgroup differentiation and identify adaptive loci in Upland cotton. Two highly divergent genomic regions were found on chromosomes A06 and A08, which likely caused by extensive chromosome inversions. The subgroups could be geographically classified based on distinct haplotypes in the divergent regions. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) also confirmed that loci located in these regions were significantly associated with environmental adaptability in Upland cotton. Our study first revealed the cause of population divergence in Upland cotton, as well as the consequences of variation in its environmental adaptability. These findings provide new insights into the genetic basis of environmental adaptability in Upland cotton, which could accelerate the development of molecular markers for adaptation to climate change in future cotton breeding.
