As an ideal model for studying ethylene effects on cell elongation, Arabidopsis hypocotyl
growth is widely used due to the unique characteristic that ethylene stimulates hypocotyl …

Cotton, with cellulose‐enriched mature fibers, is the largest source of natural textiles.
Through a map‐based cloning strategy, we isolated an industrially important lint fiber …

The capacity of conventional breeding to simultaneously improve the yield and quality of
cotton fiber is limited. The accumulation of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in …

Ethylene, a gaseous plant hormone, plays critical roles in plant growth, development, and
response to environment. Ethylene-regulated processes are initiated by the elevation of …

Plants require oxygen for the functioning of roots, and thus the establishment of a long-
distance diffusion path from above-water tissues to the submerged roots is essential to …

The severity of Verticillium wilt on cotton caused by defoliating strains of Verticillium dahliae
has gradually increased and threatens production worldwide. Identification of the molecular …

The plant hormones auxin and ethylene have been shown to play important roles during
root hair development. However, cross talk between auxin and ethylene makes it difficult to …

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 …

Abstract Effect of ethylene and ethylene antagonist 1-methycyclopropene (1-MCP) on
postharvest development of two Paeonia suffruticosa cultivars was investigated. According …

Given the importance of wood in many industrial applications, much research has focused
on wood formation, especially lignin biosynthesis. However, the mechanisms governing the …
