Background Improving the yield and fiber quality of upland cotton is a goal of plant breeders.
However, increasing the yield and quality of cotton fibers is becoming more urgent. While …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the world's largest source of natural fibre and
dominates the global textile industry. Hybrid cotton varieties exhibit strong heterosis that …

Background C2H2-zinc finger protein family is commonly found in the plant, and it is known
as the key actors in the regulation of transcription and vital component of chromatin …

Cotton fibers are single-celled extensions of the seed epidermis. They can be isolated in
pure form as they undergo staged differentiation including primary cell wall synthesis during …

A comparative proteomic analysis was performed to explore the mechanism of cell
elongation in developing cotton fibers. The temporal changes of global proteomes at five …

The quality of cotton fiber is determined by its final length and strength, which is a function of
primary and secondary cell wall deposition. Using a comparative proteomics approach, we …

Phenotypic diversity and evolutionary innovation ultimately trace to variation in genomic
sequence and rewiring of regulatory networks. Here, we constructed a pan-genome of the …

Since 6000 BC, cotton has been cultivated for lint fiber, which now dominates the natural
textile industry worldwide. Common resources such as an integrated web database, a …

This mini‐review focuses on the prospects and tools for controlling cotton fibre secondary
wall thickness. Cotton fibre secondary walls are composed of almost 100% cellulose, and …

Gossypium hirsutum contributes the most production of cotton fibre, but G. barbadense is
valued for its better comprehensive resistance and superior fibre properties. However, the …
