Plant cell growth involves a complex interplay among cell-wall expansion, biosynthesis, and,
in specific tissues, secondary cell wall (SCW) deposition, yet the coordination of these …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fibers are single-cell trichomes that arise from the outer epidermal
layer of seed coat. Here, we isolated a R3-MYB gene GhCPC, identified by cDNA microarray …

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 …

Cotton fibre is the most important source for natural textiles. The secondary cell walls
(SCWs) of mature cotton fibres contain the highest proportion of cellulose content (> 90%) in …

The cotton fibre serves as a valuable experimental system to study cell wall synthesis in
plants, but our understanding of the genetic regulation of this process during fibre …

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 …

Phytohormones play indispensable roles in plant growth and development. However, the
molecular mechanisms underlying phytohormone-mediated regulation of fiber secondary …

Gossypium hirsutum L.(cotton) fibres are specialized trichomes a few centimetres in length
that grow from the seed coat. Few genes directly involved in the differentiation of these …

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

Among the longest cell types known in plants, cotton fibers are economically important seed
trichomes that provide a unique single‐celled model system for studying fundamental …
