Abstract Background Millennia of directional human selection has reshaped the genomic architecture cultivated cotton relative to wild counterparts, but we have limited understanding selective retention and fractionation components. Results We construct a comprehensive variome based on 1961 cottons identify 456 Mb 357 sequence with domestication improvement signals 162 loci, 84 which are novel, including 47 loci associated 16 agronomic traits. Using pan-genome analyses, 32,569 8851...
Summary Despite the established significance of WRKY proteins and phenylpropanoid metabolism in plant immunity, how modulate aspects pathway remains undetermined. To understand better role defence, we identified a cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum ) protein, GhWRKY41, that is, universally rapidly induced three disease‐resistant cultivars following inoculation with pathogenic fungus, Verticillium dahliae . We show overexpression GhWRKY41 transgenic Arabidopsis enhances resistance to V. , while...
Abstract Background Base editors (BEs) display diverse applications in a variety of plant species such as Arabidopsis, rice, wheat, maize, soybean, and cotton, where they have been used to mediate precise base pair conversions without the collateral generation undesirable double-stranded breaks (DSB). Studies single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) underpinning traits are still challenging, particularly polyploidy SNPs present multiple copies, simultaneous modification all alleles would be...
Nicotiana tabacum is an allotetraploid hybrid of sylvestris and tomentosiformis a model organism in genetics.

Here we present chromosome-scale assemblies for all three species, genotype phenotypic data 5,196 germplasms. Chromosome rearrangements epigenetic modifications are associated with genome evolution coordination following polyploidization. Two subgenomes...
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is an allotetraploid species and a typical thermophilic crop that can survive grow well under temperatures up to 45 °C. CRISPR/LbCpf1 (LbCas12a) temperature-sensitive system for plant genome editing (Malzahn et al., 2019) has been successfully applied in such as rice, soya bean, tobacco, maize cotton (Lee 2019; Li 2018; Tang 2017; Xu 2019). However, the temperature sensitivity of LbCpf1 not tested yet, high temperature-resistant crop. In order improve efficiency...
Abstract Salicylic acid (SA) and brassinosteroids (BRs) are well known to regulate diverse processes of plant development stress responses, but the mechanisms by which these phytohormones mediate growth defense trade-off largely unclear. In addition, little is about roles DEHYDRATION RESPONSIVE ELEMENT BINDING transcription factors, especially in biotic growth. Here, we identified a cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) APETALA2/ETHYLENE FACTOR gene GhTINY2 that strongly induced Verticillium dahliae....
Sap-sucking insects cause severe damage to cotton production. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play vital regulatory roles in various development processes and stress response, however, the function of lncRNAs during sap-sucking insect infection is largely unknown. In this study, transcriptome profiles between resistant (HR) susceptible (ZS) cultivars under whitefly infestation at different time points (0, 4, 12, 24, 48 h) were compared. A total 6,651 transcript 606 differentially expressed...
Callose plays an important role in plant development and response to a wide range of biotic abiotic stresses. However, the systematic identification callose synthase (CalS), major enzyme for biosynthesis, has been delayed crops, especially Solanaceae. In current research, 18 CalS genes (NtCalS1–NtCalS18) were identified Nicotiana tabacum classified into four subfamilies. A comprehensive analysis their physicochemical properties, gene structure, evolutionary history highlighted conservation....
Multiparent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross (MAGIC) population is an ideal genetic and breeding material for quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping molecular breeding. In this study, a MAGIC derived from eight tobacco parents was developed. Eight 560 homozygous lines were genotyped by 430K single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip assay phenotyped nicotine content under different conditions. Four QTLs associated with detected genome-wide association (GWAS), one major QTL, named qNIC7-1,...
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is an important fiber crop worldwide. Insect attack causes cotton yield and quality losses. However, little known about the mechanism of response to insect attack. We simulated feeding by applying oral secretions (OS) wounds, combined transcriptome metabolome analysis investigate how OS from two major pest species (Helicoverpa armigera Spodoptera litura) affect defense responses. found that respectively 12,668 13,379 genes were differentially expressed in...
Agronomic traits such as plant height (PH), leaf number (LN), length (LL), and width (LW), which are closely related to yield quality, important in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). To identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with agronomic tobacco, 209 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) 537 multiparent advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) were developed. The biparental RIL MAGIC genotyped using a 430 K single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip assay, their repeatedly evaluated under...
