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 …

Auxin signalling plays an essential role in regulating plant development. Auxin response
factors (ARFs), which are critical components of auxin signalling, modulate the expression of …

Auxin response factors (ARFs) are recently discovered transcription factors that bind with
auxin response elements (AuxRE, TGTCTC) to regulate the expression of early auxin …

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 …

Background AP2/ERF transcription factors are important in a variety of biological activities,
including plant growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stressors …

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 fibers, important natural raw materials for the textile industry, are trichomes elongated
from epidermal cells of cotton ovules. To date, a number of genes have been shown to be …

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 provides the world's leading natural fiber. Cotton fiber cell wall dictates pivotal fiber
quality indexes such as fiber length and strength, in addition to defining fiber cell …

Auxin is well known to regulate growth and development processes. Auxin early response
genes serve as a critical component of auxin signaling and mediate auxin regulation of …
