Abstract QTL mapping experiments yield heterogeneous results due to
the use of different genotypes, environments, and sampling
variation. Compilation of QTL mapping results yields a more
complete picture of the genetic control of a trait and
reveals patterns in organization of trait variation. A total
of 432 QTL mapped in one diploid and 10 tetraploid
interspecific cotton populations were aligned using a
reference map and depicted in a CMap resource. Early
demonstrations that genes from the non-fiber-producing
diploid ancestor contribute to tetraploid lint fiber
genetics gain further support from multiple populations and
environments and advanced-generation studies detecting QTL
of small phenotypic effect. Both tetraploid subgenomes
contribute QTL at largely non-homeologous locations,
suggesting divergent selection acting on many corresponding
genes before and/or after polyploid formation. QTL
correspondence across studies was only modest, suggesting
that additional QTL for the target traits remain to be
discovered. Crosses between closely-related genotypes
differing by single-gene mutants yield profoundly different
QTL landscapes, suggesting that fiber variation involves a
complex network of interacting genes. Members of the lint
fiber development network appear clustered, with cluster
members showing heterogeneous phenotypic effects.
Meta-analysis linked to synteny-based and expression-based
information provides clues about specific genes and families
involved in QTL networks.
