Cotton cultivars have evolved to produce extensive, long, seed‐born fibers important for the
textile industry, but we know little about the molecular mechanism underlying spinnable fiber …

Cotton fibres are unusually long, single-celled epidermal seed trichomes and a model for
plant cell growth, but little is known about the regulation of fibre cell elongation. Here we …

Gene expression profiles of developing cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fibers from two near-
isogenic lines (NILs) that differ in fiber-bundle strength, short-fiber content, and in fewer than …

Interspecific breeding in cotton takes advantage of genetic recombination among desirable
genes from different parental lines. However, the expression new alleles (ENAs) from …

A global gene expression profiling study at different stages of fiber development was
undertaken on two cotton species cultivated for fiber, Gossypium hirsutum (L.) and G …

Next generation sequencing (RNA-seq) technology was used to evaluate the effects of the
Ligon lintless-2 (Li2) short fiber mutation on transcriptomes of both subgenomes of …

Polyploidy complicates transcriptional regulation and increases phenotypic diversity in
organisms. The dynamics of genetic regulation of gene expression between coresident …

Cotton fiber is an ideal model to study cell elongation and cell wall construction in plants.
During fiber development, some genes and proteins have been reported to be specifically or …

Upland cotton, the mainly cultivated cotton species in the world, provides over 90% of
natural raw materials (fibers) for the textile industry. The development of cotton fibers that are …

Twenty years ago, scientists predicted that better understanding of fiber development would
lead to novel ways to engineer superior cotton fiber. Advances in genetic resources, DNA …
