Progress in Genome-wide Association Analysis of Cottonseed Oil Traits
Cottonseed oil,soft in taste and golden in color,plays a crucial role in various foods.In addition,cottonseed oil has attracted much attention due to its unique fatty acid properties,anti-inflammatory and heart protective properties.Therefore,it is of great significance to under-stand the genetic mechanism that regulates the biosynthesis of cottonseed storage oil,carry out key gene mining,and select high-quality cotton varieties with high oil content.With the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technology and bioinformatics analysis tools,whole genome sequencing has become simpler and more efficient,genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) has become a key tool for studying com-plex traits.This paper introduces the principle and research advantages of GWAS,discusses the progress of its application in the research of dif-ferent oil crops and cotton characters.Some suggestions for future genetic studies of cottonseed oil related traits were put forward.The existing problems were discussed and prospected in order to provide a theoretical basis for future studies on the genetic basis of cottonseed oil traits and marker-assisted breeding by GWAS.
