Over the last two decades, the use of high-density SNP arrays and DNA sequencing have
allowed scientists to uncover the majority of the genotypic space for various crops, including …

Background Cotton supplies a great majority of natural fiber for the global textile industry.
The negative correlation between yield and fiber quality has hindered breeders' ability to …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fibers are unicellular trichomes that differentiate from ovule
epidermal cells. Cotton fiber development is divided into four distinct yet overlapping stages …

A comparative transcriptomic study and a single-cell metabolome analysis were combined
to determine whether parenchymal ray cells contribute to the biosynthesis of monolignols in …

Cotton is a major crop that provides the most important renewable textile fibers in the world.
Studies of the taxonomy and evolution of cotton species have received wide attentions, not …

Cotton fibres are single-celled trichomes arising from the epidermal cells of the seed coat
and may be either long (lint) or very short (fuzz). The dominant fuzzless N 1 of Gossypium …

The thickness of cotton fiber cell walls is an important property that partially determines the
economic value of cotton. To better understand the physical and chemical manifestations of …

Although phytohormones are known to be important signal molecules involved in wood
formation, their roles are still largely unclear. Here, Populus simonii× P. nigra seedlings …

Maturity and strength are two of the physical properties that determine the quality and value
of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Their relationship has been poorly understood due to …

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins encoded by nuclear genomes can bind to
organellar RNA and are involved in the regulation of RNA metabolism. However, the …
