Abstract Key message QTL for fiber quality traits under salt stress discerned candidate genes controlling fatty acid metabolism. Abstract Salinity stress seriously affects plant growth and limits agricultural productivity of crop plants. To dissect the genetic basis of response to salinity stress, a recombinant inbred line population was developed to compare fiber quality in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) under salt stress and normal conditions. Based on three datasets of (1) salt stress, (2) normal growth, and (3) the difference value between salt stress and normal conditions, 51, 70, and 53 QTL were mapped, respectively. Three QTL for fiber length (FL) (qFL-Chr1-1, qFL-Chr5-5, and qFL-Chr24-4) were detected under both salt and normal conditions and explained 4.26%, 9.38%, and 3.87% of average phenotypic variation, respectively. Seven genes within intervals of two stable QTL (qFL-Chr1-1 and qFL-Chr5-5) were highly expressed in lines with extreme long fiber. A total of 35 QTL clusters comprised of 107 QTL were located on 18 chromosomes and exhibited pleiotropic effects. Thereinto, two clusters were responsible for improving five fiber quality traits, and 6 influenced FL and fiber strength (FS). The QTL with positive effect for fiber length exhibited active effects on fatty acid synthesis and elongation, but the ones with negative effect played passive roles on fatty acid degradation under salt stress.

ABSTRACTIn present study, F14 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was backcrossed to paternal parent for a paternal backcross (BC/P) population, deriving from one Upland cotton hybrid. Three repetitive BC/P field trials and one BC/M field trial were performed including both two BC populations and the original RIL population. Totally, for fiber quality traits, 24 novel QTLs were detected and 13 QTLs validated previous results. And 19 quantitative trait loci (QTL) in BC/P populations explained 5.01% - 22.09% of phenotype variation (PV). Among the 19 QTLs, three QTLs were detected simultaneously in BC/M population. The present study provided novel alleles of male parent for fiber quality traits with positive genetic effects. Particularly, qFS-Chr3-1 controlling fiber strength explained 22.09% of PV in BC/P population, which increased 0.48 cN/tex for fiber strength. A total of seven, two, eight, two and six QTLs explained over 10.00% of PV for fiber length, fiber uniformity, fiber strength, fiber elongation and fiber micronaire, respectively. In the RIL population, six common QTLs detected in more than one environment such as qFL-Chr1-2, qFS-Chr5-1, qFS-Chr9-1, qFS-Chr21-1, qFM-Chr9-1 and qFM-Chr9-2. Two common QTLs of qFE-Chr2-2 (TMB2386-SWU12343) and qFM-Chr9-1 (NAU2873-CGR6771) explained 22.42% and 21.91% of PV. In addition, a total of 142 and 46 epistatic QTLs and QTL × environments (E-QTLs and QQEs) were identified in RIL-P and BC/P populations, respectively.
