Narrow genetic base with less genetic variability is observed in G. barbadense germplasm. Hence, this study was aimed to evaluate the genetic variability present in 108 germplasm accessions of G. barbadense and to identify the superior genotypes based on the fibre traits. Results We evaluated 108 accessions for five fibre quality traits along with three checks in augmented block design. All fibre traits showed significant differences among genotypes, indicating that there is genetic potential for improvement. Fibre strength and micronaire (MIC) showed high phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation. High heritability combined with high genetic advance as percentage of mean (GAM) was recorded for fibre length, strength, and micronaire. Fibre strength and fibre length were significantly correlated with each other, while both showed negative correlation with micronaire. Principal component analysis and Biplot analysis showed that uniformity index discriminated all the genotypes in higher level, while fibre length and strength were medium in discrimination power. Biplot revealed genotypes DB 16, EC959191, GSB 39, ARBB 20, 5746U, EA 203, and EA 201 were genetically diverse. Hierarchal cluster analysis based on unweighted paired group method using arithmetic average (UPGMA) grouped the genotypes into four clusters, with each cluster consisting of 4, 18, 48, and 38 genotypes, respectively. Conclusion Among the genotypes, 34 for fibre length (> 35 mm), 18 for fibre strength (> 40.4 g·tex −1 ) and 66 for micronaire (3.7-4.2, A grade) were identified as potential accessions based on their superiority. The superior fibre genotypes identified in this study are potential lines for the ELS cotton breeding program.","PeriodicalId":15400,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cotton Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136152338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a hydroponic experiment was conducted under control condition for testing the gene expression pattern of the K transporter under adequate and low K supply levels. After that, a 2-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate five selected cotton cultivars (four K-efficient cultivars, viz., CIM-554, CYTO-124, FH-142, IUB-2013, and one K non-efficient, BH-212) screened from the initial hydroponics culture experiment and two levels of potassium (0 K 2 O kg·ha −1 and 50 K 2 O kg·ha −1 ) were tested under reduced irrigation (50% available water content; 50 AWC) and normal irrigation conditions (100% available water content; 100 AWC). Result Results revealed that the transcript levels of GhHAK5aD in roots were significantly higher in K + efficient cultivars than that in K + non-efficient cultivars. The GhHAK5aD expression upon K + deficiency was higher in roots but lower in shoots, indicating that GhHAK5aD could have a role in K + uptake in roots, instead of transport of K + from root to shoot. Similarly, under field conditions the cultivar FH-142 showed an increase of 22.3%, 4.9%, 2.4%, and 1.4% as compared with BH-212, IUB-2013, CYTO-124, and CIM-554, respectively, in seed cotton yield (SCY) with K application under reduced irrigation conditions. With applied K, the FH-142 showed an increase in net photosynthetic rate by 57.3% as compared with the rest of the cultivars under reduced irrigation over K control. However, the overall performance indicators of K-efficient cultivars like FH-142, CYTO-124, CIM-554, and IUB-2013 were better than BH-212 (K in-efficient) under reduced irrigation conditions with applied K at 50 kg·ha −1 . Fiber quality trait improved significantly with K application under water deficit. The increase in micronaire was 3.6%, 4.7%, 7.8%, 3.4%, and 6.7% in BH-212, IUB-2013, CIM-554, CYTO-124, and FH-142, respectively, with K application at 50 kg·ha −1 over without K application under reduced irrigation conditions during the cotton growing season. Similarly, the cultivars FH-142 increased by 12% with K application under reduced irrigation as compared with other cultivars. The performance of K-efficient cultivars under reduced irrigation conditions was 30% better in SCY and quality traits with the application of K at 50 kg·ha −1 as compared with K-non-efficient cultivars. Similarly, water use efficiency (WUE) (40.1%) and potassium use efficiency (KUE) (20.2%) were also noted higher in case of FH-142 as compared with other cultivar with K application under reduced conditions. Conclusion Higher expression of GhHAK5aD gene was observed in K-efficient cultivars as compared with K-non-efficient cultivars in roots indicates that GhHAK5aD may be contributing to genotypic differences for K + efficiency in cotton.
