Cotton is white gold across the globe and composed of fiber cells derived from the outer
integument of cotton ovules. Fiber elongation uses sucrose as a direct carbon source. The …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important natural fiber crop worldwide. The diversity of
Gossypium species also provides an ideal model for investigating evolution and …

Background Since upland cotton was introduced into China during the 1920s–1950s,
hundreds of inbreed cultivars have been developed. To explore the molecular diversity …

Catharanthus roseus contains a variety of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs), among
which bisindole alkaloids vinblastine and vincristine are well-known to have antitumor …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important fibre crop, with desirable characteristics
preferred for textile production. Cotton fibre output relies heavily on nitrate as the most …

Trichomes, the hair-like structures located on aerial parts of most vascular plants, are
associated with a wide array of biological processes and affect the economic value of certain …

The leaf epidermis comprises the outermost layer of cells that protect plants against
environmental stresses such as drought, ultraviolet radiation, and pathogen attack …

We present an overview of Gossypium genome evolution and the implications of this
understanding for targeted breeding objectives. The cotton genus (Gossypium) contains …

Trichomes that originate from plant aerial epidermis act as mechanical and chemical
barriers against herbivores. Although several regulators have recently been identified, the …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important world-wide fiber crop
but salt stress limits cotton production in coastal and other areas. Growth regulation factors …
