摘要: BackgroundDue to the influence of extreme weather, the environment in China's main cotton-producing areas is prone to drought stress conditions, which affect the growth and development of cotton and lead to a decrease in cotton yield.ResultsIn this study, 188 upland cotton germplasm resources were phenotyped for data of 8 traits (including 3 major yield traits) under drought conditions in three environments for two consecutive years. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between the three yield traits. Genetic analysis showed that the estimated heritability of the seed cotton index (SC) under drought conditions was the highest (80.81%), followed by that of boll weight (BW) (80.64%) and the lint cotton index (LC) (70.49%) With genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis, a total of 75 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified, including two highly credible new QTL hotspots. Three candidate genes (Gh_D09G064400, Gh_D10G261000 and Gh_D10G254000) located in the two new QTL hotspots, QTL51 and QTL55, were highly expressed in the early stage of fiber development and showed significant correlations with SC, LC and BW. The expression of three candidate genes in two extreme materials after drought stress was analyzed by qRT-PCR, and the expression of these two materials in fibers at 15, 20 and 25 DPA. The expression of these three candidate genes was significantly upregulated after drought stress and was significantly higher in drought-tolerant materials than in drought-sensitive materials. In addition, the expression levels of the three candidate genes were higher in the early stage of fiber development (15 DPA), and the expression levels in drought-tolerant germplasm were higher than those in drought-sensitive germplasm. These three candidate genes may play an important role in determining cotton yield under drought conditions.ConclusionsThis study is helpful for understanding the regulatory genes affecting cotton yield under drought conditions and provides germplasm and candidate gene resources for breeding high-yield cotton varieties under these conditions.
