Cotton (Gossypium spp) plants produce seed trichomes (cotton fibers) that are an important
commodity worldwide; however, genes controlling cotton fiber development have not been …

Cotton fibres are unicellular seed trichomes. Our previous study suggested that the cotton
R2R3 MYB transcript factor GaMYB2 is a functional homologue of the Arabidopsis trichome …

Leaf hairs (trichomes) of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) have been extensively used as
a model to address general questions in cell and developmental biology. Here, we lay the …

Little is still known about the developmental control of the long seed coat trichomes of cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum L.). In Arabidopsis, leaf trichome initiation is regulated by a group of …

Myb-class transcription factors implicated in cell shape regulation were overexpressed in
Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum in an attempt to assess the extent to which …

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fibers are derived from ovule epidermis, which are
developmentally similar to Arabidopsis trichome where several MYB transcription factors …

Trichomes are specialized epidermal cells and a vital plant organ that protect plants from
various harms and provide valuable resources for plant development and use. Some key …

Background Cotton is the dominant source of natural textile fibre and a significant oil crop.
Cotton fibres, produced by certain species in the genus Gossypium, are seed trichomes …

Cotton fibres are single, highly elongated cells derived from the outer epidermis of ovules,
and are developmentally similar to the trichomes of Arabidopsis thaliana. To identify genes …

Arabidopsis trichomes are branched, single-celled epidermal hairs. These specialized cells
provide a convenient model for investigating the specification of cell fate in plants. Two key …
