| Summary |
Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) is the source of the world’s finest fiber-quality cotton, yet relatively little is understood about the genetic variation among diverse germplasm, the genes underlying important traits, and the effects of pedigree selection. Here, we resequenced 336 G. barbadense accessions and identified 16 million SNPs. Phylogenetic and population structure analyses revealed two major gene pools and a third admixed subgroup derived from geographical dissemination and interbreeding. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 15 traits including fiber quality, yield, disease resistance, maturity, and plant architecture. The highest number of associated loci was for fiber quality, followed by disease resistance and yield. Using gene expression analyses and VIGS transgenic experiments we confirmed the role of five candidate genes regulating four key traits, i.e., disease resistance, fiber length, fiber strength, and lint percentage. Geographical and temporal considerations demonstrate selection for the superior fiber quality (fiber length and fiber strength), and high lint-percentage in improving G. barbadense in China. Pedigree selection breeding wholly increased Fusarium wilt disease resistance, and separately improved fiber-quality and yield. Our work provides a foundation for understanding genomic variation in and selective breeding of Sea Island cotton.
