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 …

Cotton is an important fibre‐producing crop. Cotton fibres consist of highly elongated
trichomes derived from the ovule. To improve the quality of cotton, it is necessary to identify …

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 …

Xyloglucan, an important hemicellulose, plays a crucial role in maintaining cell wall structure
and cell elongation. However, the effects of xyloglucan on cotton fiber development are not …

Gossypium hirsutum L.(cotton) fibres are specialized trichomes a few centimetres in length
that grow from the seed coat. Few genes directly involved in the differentiation of these …

Little is still known about the developmental control of the long seed coat trichomes of cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum L.). In Arabidopsis, leaf trichome initiation is regulated by a group of …

MYB transcription factors are essential for cotton fiber development. We isolated the R2R3-
MYB gene GbMYB2 from Gossypium barbadense. RNA in situ hybridization analysis …

Plant cell growth involves a complex interplay among cell-wall expansion, biosynthesis, and,
in specific tissues, secondary cell wall (SCW) deposition, yet the coordination of these …

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fibers are single highly elongated cells derived from the
outer epidermis of ovules. A large number of genes are required for fiber differentiation and …

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 …
