Abstract Allotetraploid cotton species (Gossypium) belong to a 1-2
million year old lineage that reunited diploid genomes that
diverged from each other 5-10 million years ago. To
characterize genome evolution in the diploids and
allotetraploids, comparative RFLP mapping was used to
construct genetic maps for the allotetraploids (AD genome; n
= 26) and diploids (A and D genomes; n = 13). Comparisons
among the 13 suites of homoeologous linkage groups permitted
comparisons of synteny and gene order. Two reciprocal
translocations were confirmed involving four allotetraploid
A(t) genome chromosomes, as was a translocation between the
two extant A genome diploids. Nineteen locus order
differences were detected among the two diploid and two
allotetraploid genomes. Conservation of colinear linkage
groups among the four genomes indicates that allopolyploidy
in Gossypium was not accompanied by extensive chromosomal
rearrangement. Many inversions include duplicated loci,
suggesting that the processes that gave rise to inversions
are not fully conservative. Allotetraploid A(t) and D(t)
genomes and the A and D diploid genomes are
recombinationally equivalent despite a nearly two-fold
difference in physical size. Polyploidization in Gossypium
is associated with enhanced recombination, as genetic
lengths for allotetraploid genomes are over 50% greater than
those of their diploid counterparts.
