Recent Insights in Cotton Functional Genomics: Progress and Future Perspectives

توضیحات

ABSTRACT

Functional genomics has transformed from futuristic concept to well established scientific discipline during last decade. Cotton functional genomics promise to enhance the understanding of fundamental plant biology to systematically exploit genetic resources for improvement of cotton fiber quality and yield, as well as utilization of genetic information for germplasm improvement. However, determining the cotton gene functions is a much more challenging task which has not progressed at rapid pace. This article presents a comprehensive overview on the recent tools and resources available with the major advances in cotton functional genomics to develop elite cotton genotypes. This effort ultimately helps to filter a subset of genes which can be used to assemble a final list of candidate genes that could be employed in future novel cotton breeding program. We argue that next stage of cotton functional genomics requires the draft genomes refinement, re-sequencing broad diversity panels with the development of high-throughput functional genomics tools and integrating multidisciplinary approaches in upcoming cotton improvement programs.

INTRODUCTION

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is a foundation of the global economy, prized for its important renewable fiber resource. It serves as an ideal plant for different biological studies such as genome evolution, polyploidization and single-celled biological processes (Qin and Zhu, 2011; Shan et al., 2014). Decoding cotton’s genome provides useful understanding about the agronomic and functional importance of polyploidy and genome size variations within the genus Gossypium (Chen et al., 2007). However, evolution and function of allopolyploid cotton genome is complicated by the presence of two subgenomes (AT and DT) in its nucleus. About 5-10 million years ago (MYA), the African derived ‘A’ diploid genome diverged from the eudicot progenitor simultaneously with the diploid genome ‘D’ which was native to This article is protected by copyright.
