Abstract The genus Gossypium, which comprises a divergent group of
diploid species and several recently formed allotetraploids,
offers an excellent opportunity to study polyploid genome
evolution. In this study, chromosome structural variation
among the A, At, and D genomes of Gossypium was evaluated by
comparative genetic linkage mapping. We constructed a fully
resolved RFLP linkage map for the diploid A genome
consisting of 275 loci using an F2 interspecific Gossypium
arboreum x Gossypium herbaceum family. The 13 chromosomes of
the A genome are represented by 12 large linkage groups in
our map, reflecting an expected interchromosomal
translocation between G. arboreum and G. herbaceum. The
A-genome chromosomes are largely collinear with the D
genomes, save for a few small inversions. Although the 2
diploid mapping parents represent the closest living
relatives of the allotetraploid At-genome progenitor, 2
translocations and 7 inversions were observed between the A
and At genomes. The recombination rates are similar between
the 2 diploid genomes; however, the At genome shows a 93%
increase in recombination relative to its diploid
progenitors. Elevated recombination in the Dt genome was
reported previously. These data on the At genome thus
indicate that elevated recombination was a general property
of allotetraploidy in cotton.
