Basic helix–loop–helix/helix–loop–helix (bHLH/HLH) transcription factors play important
roles in cell elongation in plants. However, little is known about how bHLH/HLH transcription …

Basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) proteins are involved in transcriptional networks controlling a
number of biological processes in plants. However, little information is known on the roles of …

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 …

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 …

Pectate lyases (PELs) play important roles in plant growth and development, mainly by
degrading the pectin in primary cell walls. However, the role of PELs in cotton fiber …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important natural textile fiber crop in the world. The
ideal plant architecture of cotton is suitable for mechanical harvesting and productivity in …

Background Basic helix-loop-helix/helix-loop-helix (bHLH/HLH) transcription factors play
important roles in plant development. Many reports have suggested that bHLH/HLH proteins …

SUMMARY The BRASSINAZOLE‐RESISTANT (BZR) transcription factor is a core
component of brassinosteroid (BR) signaling and is involved in the development of many …

Cotton fibers are developed epidermal cells of the seed coat and contain large amounts of
cellulose and minor lignin-like components. Lignin in the cell walls of cotton fibers effectively …

Background Cotton fiber is a model system for studying plant cell development. At present,
the functions of many transcription factors in cotton fiber development have been elucidated …
