The incidence of wilt disease was investigated during the seedling stage (3-4 leaf stage). The incidence of wilt disease was recorded as the percentage of individual plants showing symptoms of wilt disease such as chlorosis, yellowing, wilting, and dwarfing, and the percentage of diseased and dead plants out of the total number of plants. Two groups of phenotypic data on the incidence of wilt disease were investigated.

[0034] The results showed that in both sets of phenotypic data, the incidence of Fusarium wilt in Island cotton exhibited a continuous normal distribution, and the phenotypic variability of Fusarium wilt incidence in Island cotton populations was relatively large. Picture 1 (a and b).

Alignment to the reference genome 3-79 of *Cotton Island* was performed using BWA (version 0.7.8) software (parameters: mem -t 4 -k 32 -M). Population SNP detection was performed using the UnifiedGenotyper method with GATK (version v3.1) software, and high-quality SNPs were obtained through filtering, generating a vcf file.

[0036] Genome-wide association analysis (GEMMA) of resistance to Fusarium wilt in sea island cotton was performed using the efficient genome-wide association modeling software GEMMA 0.94.1 (http: / / www.xzlab.org / software.html) and a mixed linear model. The GEMMA software parameters were set to "gemma -bfile file -k kinship -lmm 1 -o outfile -miss 0.2 -maf0.05 -c covariates (GCTA: PCA)".

In 2015, the -log mutation of this SNP was located in Korla. 10 The p-value was 6.2, and the -log value of this SNP site was located in Korla in 2016. 10 The (P) value is 6.3, and its nucleotide type in the coding strand is either G or A (nucleotide 67 of sequence 1 in the sequence listing). The second nonsynonymous mutation SNP site, Gbar_D03_1601122, is located at position 1601122 on chromosome D03. In 2015, a -log sequence of this SNP site was located in Korla. 10 The p-value was 6.3, and the -log value of this SNP site was located in Korla in 2016. 10 With a p-value of 6.5, its nucleotide type in the coding strand is either G or A (nucleotide 105 of sequence 1 in the sequence listing). They form two haplotypes, GG and AA, corresponding to genotypes GG and AA, respectively. GGGG and AAAA It is speculated that these two non-synonymous SNP sites are significantly associated with the wilt resistance of sea island cotton. The nucleotide sequence of sequence 1 in the sequence listing is the sequence of the D03 chromosome of sea island cotton at the physical location of 1601226 bp - 1601027 bp.

[0038] Example 3: Identification of Wilt resistance in sea island cotton using a combination of two non-synonymous SNP molecular markers (Gbar_D03_1601160 and Gbar_D03_1601122). DNA was extracted from young leaves of 195 sea island cotton materials, and genotyping was performed using two non-synonymous SNP molecular markers (Gbar_D03_1601160 and Gbar_D03_1601122, also referred to as SNP1 and SNP2 in this paper).

[0039] Sequencing results revealed that among 195 Sea Island cotton accessions, 175 accessions showed homozygous G and G nucleotides at two non-synonymous SNP sites, SNP1 and SNP2 (Gbar_D03_1601160 and Gbar_D03_1601122), with genotypes of [missing information]. GGGG (GGGG is the SNP1 mentioned above) GG Genotype and the SNP2 is GG Genotype); 20 Sea Island cotton materials showed homozygous A and A nucleotides at two nonsynonymous SNP sites (Gbar_D03_1601160 and Gbar_D03_1601122), with genotypes of [missing information].
