国家棉花品种区域试验纤维品质时空分布与发展趋势

本文选用2005—2014年国家棉花区域试验参试品种纤维品质性状作为试验材料,运用灰色预测法,旨在构建黄河流域、长江流域和西北内陆棉区的灰色预测模型,探索国家棉花区域试验纤维品质时空分布规律,并对未来5年和10年纤维品质发展趋势进行预测.结果表明: 10年期间国家棉花区域试验参试品种的综合纤维品质总体呈逐年提升趋势.纤维长度表现较优,分布阈值有所提高(27.0～32.0 mm),且多数品种纤维长度达到29或30 mm级.断裂比强度总体呈增强趋势,长江流域棉区比强度达到“很强”档水平(31.0 cN·tex^-1)的品种所占比例2011年达到61.1%.马克隆值在棉区间差异显著,黄河流域逐年增高,由B₂档(4.3～4.9)向C₂档(5.0及以上)变化;长江流域马克隆值偏高,基本维持在C₂档水平;西北内陆棉区马克隆值较优,分布在A档(3.7～4.2)和B₂档(4.3～4.9).纺纱均匀性指数由高到低依次为西北内陆棉区、长江流域棉区、黄河流域棉区,其中分布在130～149范围(可纺40～50中支纱)品种所占比例为80.0%.总之,近10年国家棉花品种区试验参试品种综合纤维品质总体上西北内陆棉区相对较优,其次为长江流域棉区,再次为黄河流域棉区.预测在未来5年和10年,国家棉花品种区域试验参试品种综合纤维品质表现为黄河流域呈明显下降趋势,长江流域略微上升,而西北内陆棉区则呈显著下降趋势,这些变化应该引起所在区域棉花育种工作者、国家棉花品种区域试验及审定管理部门的高度重视.

本研究以国内育成和国外引进的52份转基因抗虫棉品种(系)为材料,在河北农业大学棉花育种圃种植,调查农艺性状、测定纤维品质,基于农艺性状和纤维品质分析供试品种(系)的遗传多样性.结果表明:在9个农艺性状中,烂铃数的变异系数最大,其次为产量、有效铃数和第一果枝节位高度,变异系数最小的是衣分和果枝数.转基因抗虫棉品种纤维长度基本能够满足纺织工业需求,2.5%跨长主要集中在28～30mm;纤维比强度平均值为27.1cN/tex,变幅为23.0～31.6cN/tex;马克隆值的平均值为4.8,变幅为4.0～5.6.成对品种的欧氏距离变化在1.53～13.31之间,平均值为4.79,单一品种欧氏距离的平均值分布在3.62～10.51之间,表明不同品种之间具有一定的差异.采用离差平方和法对欧氏距离进行聚类,可以将供试品种明显地划分为2类,一类为中熟品种,另一类为早熟品种.     

利用海岛棉渐渗系改良陆地棉纤维品质

棉花是世界上种植最广泛的纤维作物,随着人们生活水平的提高和棉纺织工业的发展,对棉花的纤维品质提出了更高的要求。本研究利用渐渗系ZP171为亲本,该材料以陆地棉中棉所8号为遗传背景携带了纤维品质优异的海岛棉Pima90-53片段,构建遗传群体并选育优异种质材料。基于群体在多环境下的纤维品质鉴定结果,发现纤维长度和比强度与其他纤维品质性状间存在显著的相关性,遗传力较高,可稳定遗传;基于方差分析及主成分分析发现,群体内含有丰富的遗传变异且群体可通过4个主成分进行评价;综合上述分析结果,筛选出在纤维长度或者纤维比强度上显著优于中棉所8号的19个株系,为棉花优质育种及纤维品质性状精细定位提供了新材料。     

花铃期遮荫对棉纤维品质的影响

以中棉所41号和鲁棉研18号为试验材料,研究花铃期不同程度遮荫对棉花纤维品质性状的影响.结果表明,遮荫使最终纤维长度变短,且变短幅度随遮荫程度增加而加大,70%遮荫处理比40%遮荫处理平均变短1.01 mm;遮荫延缓纤维伸长期,CK纤维25 d达到最大长度,而遮荫后35 d达到最大长度;遮荫降低纤维断裂比强度,且降低幅度随遮荫程度增加而增大;40%和70%遮荫处理都使纤维麦克隆值和成熟度显著下降.两个供试品种纤维品质性状在遮荫条件下变化趋势一致.     

棉纤维发育响应高温胁迫的关键时间窗口

以温度弱敏感性棉花品种(科棉1号)和温度敏感性棉花品种(苏棉15)为材料,在人工气候室模拟自然温周期设置高温(34 ℃\[38/30 ℃\],HT)和对照(26 ℃\[30/22 ℃\],CK)2个温度处理,研究了花铃期不同时段进行高温胁迫后纤维发育重要相关物质的变化及其与纤维品质的关系.结果表明： 在花后不同时间开始高温胁迫持续处理5 d,苏棉15纤维长度、纤维比强度、马克隆值响应高温胁迫的关键时间窗口分别为花后0～18.3 d,花后10.9～26.1 d和花后10.5～34.0 d.因此,花后11～18 d左右是棉花综合纤维品质形成响应高温胁迫的关键时间窗口.在关键时间窗口对棉花进行高温处理5 d后,苏棉15纤维中的蔗糖含量相对常温条件下呈先降低后增加的变化趋势,胼胝质含量上升,纤维素含量下降4.2%,纤维长度变短(最大变幅为23.3%),纤维比强度上升(最大变幅为4.3%),马克隆值下降(最大变幅为10.5%)并偏离最适范围,纤维品质变差.科棉1号的上述纤维发育主要相关物质含量及纤维品质与苏棉15变化趋势一致、最敏感时间相近,仅变化幅度相对较小.     

利用GGE双标图划分我国棉花纤维品质生态区

我国主产棉区棉花纤维品质区域特征明显,合理划分纤维品质生态区有助于提高原棉的纺纱品质.本研究采用GGE双标图的“环境-性状”功能图分析了2011—2015年期间国家棉花品种区域试验中传统棉区与纤维品质性状的互作,并提出了我国主产棉区棉花纤维品质生态区域划分.结果表明: 我国主产棉区可划分为“优质纤维生态区”、“低马克隆值生态区”、“高比强度与马克隆值生态区”和“普通纤维生态区”.其中,优质纤维生态区包括长江上游和长江下游棉区,棉纤维长度、比强度、马克隆值等指标协调较好,且纺纱均匀性指数表现最好;低马克隆值生态区位于南疆和北疆棉区,马克隆值和比强度低,纺纱均匀性指数较好;高比强度与马克隆值生态区涵盖长江中游、南襄盆地和淮北平原棉区,比强度和马克隆值高,其余性状表现一般;普通纤维生态区包括华北平原和黄土高原棉区,各项纤维品质指标表现中等或较差.本研究应用GGE双标图的“环境-性状”功能图划分的纤维品质生态区可为优化我国棉花品质区域化种植和纺织企业合理用棉提供决策支持,也可为其他作物生态区划分提供方法参考.

棉花纤维品质与气象因子的定量分析

2002～2003年在南京、安阳、保定和石河子4地用"异地分期种植比较法"研究了气温及日照条件与棉花纤维品质的关系.结果表明,随纬度升高,由中熟棉区向北疆早熟棉区推移过程中,纤维加长,比强度下降,麦克隆值降低,可溶性糖含量增加.在建立棉花纤维比强度、麦克隆值和可溶性糖含量与温度和日照时数的生态模型的基础上,确定了棉铃发育期适宜温度范围或临界值.若以获得长度≥27 mm的优质纤维为先决条件,则分别以铃期日均温21.3～29.7℃、最低气温10.7～21.3℃、最大日温差不超过15.2℃为宜,日均温为25.4℃时,纤维最长;若以获得具有国际竞争优势的最低纤维长度(≥25 mm)为先决条件,则分别以铃期日均温不低于15.5℃、最低气温不低于10.7℃、最大日温差不超过17.9℃为宜.     

彩色棉种质资源农艺性状和纤维品质鉴定与分析

基于农艺性状和纤维品质对61份彩色棉种质材料进行鉴定分析,结果表明：材料间衣分、2．5％跨长、马克隆值呈极显著差异,整齐度、伸长率、比强度和单株铃数存在显著差异,株高、果枝数、单铃重差异不显著;供试材料纤维品质较差,除中国农业科学院棉花研究所选育的棕125、棕絮1号等材料外,大部分种质系2．5％跨长、比强度等指标不能满足纺织工业的需求,但仍有31份种质系单一性状较优,如棕2—63（IAA）、棕3-944等。采用类平均法对供试材料进行聚类分析,61份材料聚为7个类群,供试材料表现型性状相似较低,尤其部分基础彩色棉遗传材料与其他材料相似性极低,单独构成一类,如皱缩红鸡角叶棕絮、hunan绿等。综合分析表明,供试材料农艺性状和纤维品质较差,遗传多样性较丰富。     

Effects of chromosome-specific introgression in upland cotton on fiber and agronomic traits

Interspecific chromosome substitution is among the most powerful means of introgression and steps toward quantitative trait locus (QTL) identification. By reducing the genetic "noise" from other chromosomes, it greatly empowers the detection of genetic effects by specific chromosomes on quantitative traits. Here, we report on such results for 14 cotton lines (CS-B) with specific chromosomes or chromosome arms from G. barbadense L. substituted into G. hirsutum and chromosome-specific F2 families. Boll size, lint percentage, micronaire, 2.5% span length, elongation, strength, and yield were measured by replicated field experiments in five diverse environments and analyzed under an additive-dominance (AD) genetic model with genotype and environment interaction. Additive effects were significant for all traits and dominance effects were significant for all traits except 2.5% span length. CS-B25 had additive effects increasing fiber strength and fiber length and decreasing micronaire. CS-B16 and CS-B18 had additive effects related to reduced yields. The results point toward specific chromosomes of G. barbadense 3-79 as the probable locations of the genes that significantly affect quantitative traits of importance. Our results provided a scope to analyze individual chromosomes of the genome in homozygous and heterozygous conditions and thus detected novel effects of alleles controlling important QTL.     

Quantitative trait loci affecting cotton fiber are linked to the t1 locus in upland cotton

Pilose (T ₁), a dominant marker in upland cotton, has been associated with coarse, short fibers. Pilose was, thereby, considered to be pleiotropic on fiber fineness and length. However, a pilose-expressing line with a fiber of average fineness was recently identified. This finding does not support pleiotropy between T ₁ and fiber traits, but is indicative of linkage between pilose and loci influencing fiber characteristics. To understand the relationship between T ₁ and fiber traits, a pilose line with short, coarse fiber was crossed to two t ₁ lines with standard fiber characteristics. One hundred and forty-nine F₂-derived F₃ lines were developed from one cross, and 60 F₂-derived F₃ lines from the other. Seven fiber traits (elongation, maturity, micronaire reading, perimeter, 2.5% span length, strength, and wall thickness) were measured. Segregation was normal, as indicated by allelic frequencies of 0.5 for T ₁ and t ₁, and segregation ratios of 121 for marker genotypes. The association of homozygous T ₁ lines with fibers of average fineness was again observed. Linkage between T ₁ and loci affecting micronaire, perimeter, 2.5% span length, strength, and wall thickness was found in both populations. Significant additive and non-additive gene effects for each of these traits at the marker locus were found as well. The pilose marker accounted for 10–75% of the phenotypic variation associated with each trait. In conclusion, the t ₁ locus is linked to numerous loci that influence fiber traits, and this linkage has previously been misinterpreted as pleiotropy.     

QTL mapping for fiber quality traits across multiple generations and environments in upland cotton

Identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for fiber quality traits that are stable across multiple generations and environments could facilitate marker-assisted selection for improving cotton strains. In the present study, F₂, F_2:3, and recombinant inbred lines (RILs, F _6:8 ) populations derived from an upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cross between strain 0-153, which has excellent fiber quality, and strain sGK9708, a commercial transgenic cultivar, were constructed for QTL tagging of fiber quality. We used 5,742 simple sequence repeat primer pairs to screen for polymorphisms between the two parent strains. Linkage maps of F₂ and RILs were constructed, containing 155 and 190 loci and with a total map distance of 959.4 centimorgans (cM) and 700.9?cM, respectively. We screened fiber quality QTL across multiple generations and environments through composite interval mapping of fiber quality data. Specifically, we studied F₂ and F_2:3 family lines from Anyang (Henan Province) in 2003 and 2004 and RILs in Anyang in 2007 and Anyang, Quzhou (Hebei Province), and Linqing (Shandong Province) in 2008. We identified 50 QTL for fiber quality: 10 for fiber strength, 10 for fiber length, 10 for micronaire, eight for fiber uniformity, and 12 for fiber elongation. Nine of these fiber quality QTL were identified in F₂, F_2:3 and RILs simultaneously. Two QTL for fiber strength on chromosomes C7 and C25 were detected in all three generations and all four environments and explained 16.67?C27.86% and 9.43?C21.36% of the phenotypic variation, respectively. These stable QTL for fiber quality traits could be used for marker assisted selection.     

Plant density influences fiber sucrose metabolism in relation to cotton fiber quality

Planting density plays an important role in improving cotton yield and regulating fiber quality. A 2-year experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of plant density on sucrose metabolism in relation to fiber quality of field-grown cotton. The results showed that lint yield increased with increasing plant density, fiber micronaire, fiber maturity ratio, and fiber fineness decreased with the increasing of plant density, whereas fiber length, fiber uniformity index, fiber strength, and fiber elongation were little affected by plant density. Increased plant density decreased sucrose synthase (SuSy) activity, sucrose content, and cellulose content in cotton fiber, but increased invertase activity. Increased invertase activity would restrain SuSy activity in cotton fiber: therefore, SuSy activity was the most severely affected enzyme in fiber sucrose metabolism by cotton plant density during fiber development. Abundant sucrose content in fiber after 24 days post anthesis (DPA) and high activities of SuSy and sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) at 38 DPA were beneficial for cellulose synthesis, and were propitious to optimize the fiber maturity properties. The results also showed that fiber micronaire, maturity ratio, and fineness decreased 0.11, 0.02, and 5.89 mtex, respectively, with each increase of 10,000 plants per hectare. It was concluded that high plant density decreased SuSy activity, sucrose content, and cellulose content, but increased invertase activity in sucrose metabolism, resulting in low fiber micronaire, fiber maturity ratio, and fiber fineness.     

棉花优异纤维品质性状的双列杂交分析

利用5个具有不同纤维品质性状的品种(系)配制完全双列杂交组合20个,通过亲本和F1的2年随机区组试验,结果为除纤维整齐度受环境等因素影响较大,其余性状主要受遗传因素控制;在与环境的互作中,纤维强度和长度的互作效应小,麦克隆值的加性和母体效应及伸长率的显性效应与环境的互作较大,均达到了显著水平;遗传主效中,所有的研究性状不存在母体效应,以加性为主;强度与长度加性遗传率高,分别占77．6％和73．2％;麦克隆值的加性效应占45．2％,显性效应所占的比例在纤维性状中最高,为11．5％。纤维品质性状的群体平均优势仅麦克隆值的较高(3．2％),达到了显著水平,其余性状的优势仅为-0．4％-0．7％。纤维品质性状的遗传结果与杂种优势一致。在杂种优势利用时,可以通过双亲平均值的高低来预测F1的纤维品质表现。纤维强度、长度和细度的加性遗传率高,这些性状均可以早代选择。     

Genetic mapping and quantitative trait locus analysis of fiber quality traits using a three-parent composite population in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Composite cross populations (CP) developed from three or more cultivars/lines are frequently used to improve agronomic and economic traits in crop cultivar development programs. Employing CP in linkage map construction and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping may increase the marker density of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genetic maps, exploit more adequate gene resources and facilitate marker-assisted selection (MAS). To construct a relatively high-density map and identify QTL associated with fiber quality traits in upland cotton, three elite upland cultivars/lines, Yumian 1, CRI 35 and 7,235, were used to obtain the segregating population, Yumian 1/CRI 35//Yumian 1/7,235. A genetic map containing 978 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci and 69 linkage groups was constructed; the map spanned 4,184.4 cM, covering approximately 94.1% of the entire tetraploid cotton genome. A total of 63 QTL were detected, explaining 8.1–55.8% of the total phenotypic variance: 11 QTL for fiber elongation, 16 QTL for fiber length, 9 QTL for fiber micronaire reading, 10 QTL for fiber strength and 17 QTL for fiber length uniformity. The genetic map and QTL detected for fiber quality traits are promising for further breeding programs of upland cotton with improved fiber quality.
