Background Improving the yield and fiber quality of upland cotton is a goal of plant breeders.
However, increasing the yield and quality of cotton fibers is becoming more urgent. While …

Background Cotton fiber, a highly elongated, thickened single cell of the seed epidermis, is
a powerful cell wall research model. Fiber length, largely determined during the elongation …

With increasing demand for high-quality cotton, it is desirable to identify genes involved in
fiber development for molecular improvement of cotton. In this study, 780 differentially …

Cotton is an important natural fiber crop and economic crop worldwide. The quality of cotton
fiber directly determines the quality of cotton textiles. Identifying cotton fiber development …

Fiber length (FL) is an important fiber quality trait in cotton. Although many fiber quality
quantitative trait loci (QTL) responsible for FL have been identified, most cannot be applied …

Abstract Background In upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), genotypes with the same
mature fiber length (FL) might possess different genes and exhibit differential expression of …

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

Background The morphogenesis of single-celled cotton fiber includes extreme elongation
and staged cell wall differentiation. Designing strategies for improving cotton fiber for textiles …

Comparative transcriptome analysis of fiber tissues between Gossypium barbadense and
Gossypium hirsutum could reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying high-quality fiber …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fibers are single-celled elongated trichomes,
the molecular aspects of genetic variation in fiber length (FL) among genotypes are currently …
