Cotton fibers, single epidermal cells, are most prevalent natural product in textile industries.
Root hairs, similar to cotton fibers, are also single cell trichomes. Root hair defective gene …

Undergraduate students participating in the UCLA Undergraduate Research Consortium for
Functional Genomics (URCFG) have conducted a two-phased screen using RNA …

Fiber mutants are unique and valuable resources for understanding the genetic and
molecular mechanisms controlling initiation and development of cotton fibers that are …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the main source of natural fiber for the textile
industry. Cotton fibers are unicellular trichomes that emerge from the epidermal cells of the …

Cotton fibers are the main raw materials of the textile industry. Exogenous superior fiber
genes have been introduced into upland cotton to develop high-yield cultivars with excellent …

Abstract PACLOBUTRAZOL RESISTANCE (PRE) genes code atypical HLH transcriptional
regulators characterized by the absence of a DNA-binding domain but present an HLH …

With increasing demand for high-quality cotton, it is desirable to identify genes involved in
fiber development for molecular improvement of cotton. In this study, 780 differentially …

Seed size is a result of the complex interactions among embryo, endosperm, seed coat and
the mother plant. The final yield of maize depends on the kernel size and weight. Here we …

Fiber length is one of the most important quality parameters of cotton fibers. Transcriptomic
analyses of developing cotton fibers have identified genes preferentially expressing in fiber …

Cotton fiber development is a complex biological process that many genes are involved.
Thousands of genes have been identified as relevant to fiber development through …
