Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGES: High-accuracy NIRS models and GWAS identified a novel QTL qPO-A07-1. GhMYB86 was validated to enhance seed protein content and fiber strength, and a functional KASP marker was developed. Cottonseed is rich in protein and oil; improving its nutritional quality is vital for global food security. In this study, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) models were developed for predicting cottonseed protein...
