The development of genetically modified crops requires new promoters and regulatory
regions to achieve high gene expression and/or tissue-specific expression patterns in …

Multiple cis-acting elements are present in promoter sequences that play critical regulatory
roles in gene transcription and expression. In this study, we isolated the cotton FDH …

Cotton fiber is the most important natural textile material in the world. Identification and
functional characterization of genes regulating fiber development are fundamental for …

Stacked traits have become an important trend in the current development of genomically
modified crops. The bidirectional promoter can not only prevent the co-suppression of …

Psc-AFP, an antifungal protein with trypsin inhibitor activity, was isolated from a traditional
Chinese herb, malaytea scurfpea (Psoralea corylifolia L.); the protein was found to be …

Reversibly glycosylated polypeptides (RGPs) are thought to be involved in polysaccharide
metabolism. A cDNA of the cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) RGP gene, designated GhRGP1 …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an important crop worldwide that provides
raw material to 40% of the textile fiber industry. Important traits have been studied aiming the …

The technique of promoter trapping was developed to investigate its viability in cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum L.) functional genomics. 141 independent transformants of cotton were …

Key message A strong, stable and root-specific expression system was developed from a
rice root-specific GLYCINE-RICH PROTEIN 7 promoter for use as an enabling technology …

To investigate the expression pattern of GhSCFP which was isolated from cotton fiber cDNA
library, a 1006 bp upstream fragment of the gene was cloned by chromosome walking and …
