Abstract The first fruit branch node (FFBN) and the height of the first fruit branch node (HFFBN) are two important traits that are related to plant architecture and early maturation in upland cotton. Several studies have been conducted to elucidate the genetic basis of these traits in cotton using biparental and natural populations. In this study, by using 9,244 SNP linkage disequilibrium block (SNPLDB) loci from 315 upland cotton accessions, we carried out restricted two-stage multilocus and multiallele genome-wide association studies (RTM-GWASs) and identified promising haplotypes/alleles of the four stable and true major SNPLDB loci that were significantly associated with FFBN and HFFBN. Additionally, a meta-quantitative trait locus (MQTL) analysis was conducted on 274 original QTLs that were reported in 27 studies, and 40 MQTLs associated with FFBN and HFFBN were identified. Through the integration of the RTM-GWAS and meta‑QTL analyses, two stable and true major SNPLDBs (LDB_5_15144433 and LDB_16_37952328) that were distributed in the two MQTLs were identified. Ultimately, 142 genes in the two genomic regions were annotated, and three candidate genes associated with FFBN and HFFBN were identified in the genomic region (A05:14.64-15.64 Mb) via RNA-Seq and qRT‒PCR. The results of virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) experiments indicated that GhE6 was a key gene related to HFFBN and that GhDRM1 and GhGES were important genes associated with early flowering in upland cotton.

Hence, understanding the genetic control of these traits could be useful for breeding desirable ideotypes in wheat. We used a panel of 272 accessions from the hard winter wheat (HWW) region of the USA to investigate the genetic architecture of five FLM traits including flag leaf length (FLL), width (FLW), angle (FLANG), length-width ratio, and area using multilocation field experiments.

Analysis of spatial distribution for qFLANG.1A in a set of 2354 breeding lines from the HWW region showed a higher frequency of allele associated with narrow leaf angle. A KASP assay was developed for allelic discrimination of qFLANG.1A and was used for its independent validation in a diverse set of spring wheat accessions. Furthermore, candidate gene analysis for two regions associated with FLANG identified seven putative genes of interest for each of the two regions.

Two sensitive genotypes, 'Uram' and PI 96983, exhibited anomalous canopy leaf pigmentation changes (CLPC), while 'Daepung' did not. The objectives of this study were to: (i) characterize the physiological features of pigmented canopy leaves compared with non-pigmented leaves, (ii) evaluate phenotypic variation in a combined recombinant inbred line (RIL) population (N = 169 RILs) under field conditions, and (iii) genetically identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for CLPC via joint population linkage analysis.

Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the most important diseases leading to significant soybean yield losses in Canada and worldwide. Developing soybean cultivars that are genetically resistant to the disease is the most inexpensive and reliable method to control the disease.
