In this study, a major QTL conferring resistance to Fusarium wilt race 4 (FOV4) in Upland cotton was identified using a multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population. The study also conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and a meta-analysis, identifying 14 candidate genes and genetic biases. This research provides important information for developing FOV4-resistant cultivars and further genomic studies on FOV4 resistance in cotton.
Key message A major QTL conferring resistance to Fusarium wilt race 4 in a narrow region of chromosome D02 was identified in a MAGIC population of 550 RILs of Upland cotton. Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the genetic basis of Fusarium wilt (FW, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum, FOV) resistance using bi-parental and association mapping populations in cotton. In this study, a multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population of 550 recombinant inbred lines (RILs), together with their 11 Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) parents, was used to identify QTLs for FOV race 4 (FOV4) resistance. Among the parents, Acala Ultima, M-240 RNR, and Stoneville 474 were the most resistant, while Deltapine Acala 90, Coker 315, and Stoneville 825 were the most susceptible. Twenty-two MAGIC lines were consistently resistant to FOV4. Through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on 473,516 polymorphic SNPs, a major FOV4 resistance QTL within a narrow region on chromosomes D02 was detected, allowing identification of 14 candidate genes. Additionally, a meta-analysis of 133 published FW resistance QTLs showed a D subgenome and individual chromosome bias and no correlation between homeologous chromosome pairs. This study represents the first GWAS study using a largest genetic population and the most comprehensive meta-analysis for FW resistance in cotton. The results illustrated that 550 lines were not enough for high resolution mapping to pinpoint a candidate gene, and experimental errors in phenotyping cotton for FW resistance further compromised the accuracy and precision in QTL localization and identification of candidate genes. This study identified FOV4-resistant parents and MAGIC lines, and the first major QTL for FOV4 resistance in Upland cotton, providing useful information for developing FOV4-resistant cultivars and further genomic studies towards identification of causal genes for FOV4 resistance in cotton.
