Cotton as a Model for Polyploidy and Fiber Development Study

Abstract: Cotton is one of the most important crops in the world. The Gossypium genus is represented by 50 species, divided into two levels of ploidy: diploid (2n = 26) and tetraploid (2n = 52). This diversity of Gossypium species provides an ideal model for studying the evolution and domestication of polyploids. In this regard, studies of the origin and evolution of polyploid cotton species are crucial for understanding the ways and mechanisms of gene and genome evolution. In addition, studies of polyploidization of th… Show more

“…During evolution, gene duplication may have aided plants in adapting to different abiotic stresses ( Panchy, Lehti-Shiu & Shiu, 2016 ). The most important cause of gene family expansion is gene duplication (tandem as well as segmental gene duplication) ( Kamburova et al, 2021 ). Several former studies have shown that tandem and segmental duplications have a major role in the expansion of several plant gene families ( Zhang et al, 2020 ; Zhao et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Furthermore, allopolyploidization (interspecific hybridization) is considered more advantageous in evolution due to its remarkable heterosis effect, including increased biomass, growth rate, fertility, and stress resistance. As a result, tetraploid cultivated cotton species (G. hirsutum and G. barbadense) exhibit higher fiber quality and yield compared to cultivated diploid species (G. arboreum and G. herbaceum) [116]. Allopolyploidy, autopolyploidy, and aneuploidy are the three types of mutations involving chromosome numbers.…”

“…Polyploidization event was first discovered in 1907 and was considered responsible for increasing the number of chromosomes [ 13 ]. The development of plants that change as a result of polyploidization increases their adaptability to adverse conditions and environmental factors [ 14 , 15 ]. Currently, several chemical and gaseous agents are used in research to obtain polyploids.…”
