Genetic and transcriptomic dissection of the fiber length trait from a cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) MAGIC population
2019
Background
Improving cotton fiber length without reducing yield is one of the major goals of cotton breeding. However, genetic improvement of cotton fiber length by breeding has been a challenge due to the narrow genetic diversity of modern cotton cultivars and negative correlations between fiber quality and yield traits. A multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population developed through random mating provides an excellent genetic resource that allows quantitative trait loci (QTL) and causal genes to be identified.
