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 …

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 …

Key message The fiber length-related qFL-A12-5 identified in CSSLs introgressed from
Gossypium barbadense into Gossypium hirsutum was fine-mapped to an 18.8 kb region on …

Cotton is one of the most important natural fibre resources in the textile industry that has
been cultivated to produce long and spinnable fibres. These cotton fibres are elongated …

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 …

Recently, Chen and colleagues from Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology of
Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with scientists from Nanjing Agricultural …

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 …

Cotton which produces natural fiber materials for the textile industry is one of the most
important crops in the world. Class II KNOX proteins are often considered as transcription …

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 …
