The invention discloses application of two GhUspA genes and alleles thereof in high-temperature-resistant
germplasm breeding of upland cotton, and belongs to the technical field of
plant molecular breeding. The invention discloses
protein coding sequences of two extensive stress
protein genes GhUspA-At and GhUspA-Dt participating in high-
temperature stress response of upland cotton for the first time, and four high-temperature-resistant allelic genotypes created through
gene editing, and also provides a primer and a detection method for detecting the allelic genotypes. The
gene is derived from a high-temperature-resistant site qPV-A01-1 and a homologous site qPV-D01 of upland cotton, the
allelotype of the
gene is obtained through gene editing, the high-
temperature resistance of cotton
pollen can be remarkably improved, and other agronomic characters are not affected. The gene resource, the
allelotype and the
molecular marker provided by the invention can be used for
molecular marker-assisted breeding, accelerating the
germplasm innovation and breeding process of high-temperature-resistant upland cotton, and solving the problem of squaring and boll falling caused by high temperature in the Xinjiang cotton area.
