Cotton is an irreplaceable economic crop currently domesticated in the human world for its
extremely elongated fiber cells specialized in seed epidermis, which makes it of high …

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 …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important textile crop worldwide due to its cellulosic
mature fibers, which are single‐celled hairs initiated from the cotton ovule epidermis at …

The quality of cotton fiber is determined by its final length and strength, which is a function of
primary and secondary cell wall deposition. Using a comparative proteomics approach, we …

A global gene expression profiling study at different stages of fiber development was
undertaken on two cotton species cultivated for fiber, Gossypium hirsutum (L.) and G …

Cotton fibers, the most important source of cellulose for the global textile industry, are single‐
celled trichomes derived from the ovule epidermis at or just prior to anthesis. Despite …

The annexins are a multifamily of calcium‐regulated phospholipid‐binding proteins. To
investigate the roles of annexins in fiber development, four genes encoding putative annexin …

Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) catalyzes the first step in the synthesis of sucrose in
photosynthetic tissues. We characterized the expression of three different isoforms of SPS …

Over ninety percent of the value of cotton comes from its fiber; however, the genetic
mechanisms governing fiber development are poorly understood. Due to their biochemical …

Cotton fibre provides a unicellular model system for studying cell expansion and secondary
cell wall deposition. Mature cotton fibres are mainly composed of cellulose while the walls of …
