- Abstract
Gossypium species represent a vast resource of genetic multiplicity for the improvement of cultivated cotton. To determine genetic diversity and relationships within a diverse collection of Gossypium, we employed 120 SSR primers on 20 diploid species representing seven basic genome groups of the genus Gossypium, five AD allotetraploid cotton accessions while T. populnea served as an outgroup species. Out of 120 SSR primers, 49 pairs are polymorphic, which produced a total of 99 distinct alleles with an average of 2.0 alleles per primer pair. A total of 1139 major SSR bands were observed. Genetic similarities among all the diploid species ranged from 0.582 (between G. herbaceum and G. trilobum) up to 0.969 (between G. arboreum and G. herbaceum). Phylogenetic trees based on genetic similarities were consistent with known taxonomic relationships. The results also indicated that G. raimondii is the closest living relative of the ancestral D-genome donor of tetraploid species and the A-genome donor is much similar to the present-day G. herbaceum and G. arboreum. Ancient tetraploid cotton species were formed by hybridizing and chromosome doubling between them, then different tetraploid cotton species appeared by further geographical and genetic isolation and separating differentiation. The results showed that SSRs could be an ideal means for the identification of the genetic diversity and relationship of cotton resources at the genomic level.
