Abstract Cotton is a valuable fiber crop which supplies raw material to more than 50 industries and is produced in more than 70 countries worldwide thus, it is worthy of its reputation as “white gold”. The superiority of cotton fiber over other crops is primarily dependent on its quality. However, further improvements in fiber length, strength and fineness are required for modern processing technology and for cotton to maintain its position in the global market. Association mapping enables identification of QTLs controlling fiber quality-related traits which can be useful in cotton breeding. In the present study, we performed genetic diversity, linkage disequilibrium and association mapping analyses in 157 G. hirsutum multi-parent recombinant inbred lines using a total of 102 SSR markers. The population had depressed genetic variability (14%), a result of inbreeding of modern cotton genotypes. Despite this, we identified 13 significant and stable marker-trait associations for seed cotton yield, lint percentage, fiber length, fiber strength and fiber fineness (p < 0.005). We also detected QTL co-localizations with positive and negative marker additive effects. Our results indicate that selection against negative alleles may be as important as selection for positive alleles. Analysis of the effects of allelic combinations at different QTLs revealed significant and stable marker clusters that can be selected for or against to provide maximum quality gains in cotton fiber quality.

Spodoptera litura an important insect pest of groundnut causes yield loss up to 71% in India. Though many effective chemicals are available to control Spodoptera, host plant resistance is the most desirable, economic and eco-friendly strategy. In the present study, groundnut mini core (184), recombinant inbred lines (318) and elite genotypes (44) were studied for their reaction to Spodoptera litura under hot spot location at Dharwad. Heritable component of variation existed for resistance to Spodoptera in groundnut mini core, recombinant inbred lines and elite genotypes indicating scope for selection of Spodoptera resistant genotypes. Only 29 (15%) genotypes belonging to hypogaea, fastigiata and hirsuta botanical varieties under mini core set, 15 transgressive segregants belonging to fastigiata botanical variety among 318 recombinant inbred lines and three genotypes belonging to hypogaea and fastigiata botanical varieties under elite genotypes showed resistance to Spodoptera litura with less than 10% leaf damage. Negative correlation existed between resistance to Spodoptera and days to 50 per cent flowering indicating late maturing nature of resistant genotypes. Eight resistant genotypes (ICG 862, ICG 928, ICG 76, ICG 2777, ICG 5016, ICG 12276, ICG 4412 and ICG 9905) under hypogaea botanical variety also had significantly higher pod yield. These diverse genotypes could serve as potential donors for incorporation of Spodoptera resistance in groundnut.
