Fruit quality in most fleshy fruit crops is fundamentally linked to ripening-associated traits,
including changes in colour. In many climacteric fruits, including tomato (Solanum …

Arabinogalactan proteins (AGP s) are highly glycosylated proteins that play pivotal roles in
diverse developmental processes in plants. Type‐II AG glycans, mostly O‐linked to the …

Background Fiber quality is an important economic trait of cotton, and its improvement is a
major goal of cotton breeding. To better understand the genetic mechanisms responsible for …

RNA interference (RNAi), is a powerful new technology in the discovery of genetic sequence
functions, and has become a valuable tool for functional genomics of cotton (Gossypium …

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 …

Background Improving the yield and fiber quality of upland cotton is a goal of plant breeders.
However, increasing the yield and quality of cotton fibers is becoming more urgent. While …

Cotton fiber is proposed to share some similarity with the Arabidopsis thaliana leaf trichome,
which is regulated by the MYB‐bHLH‐WD40 transcription complex. Although several MYB …

Cotton fibers are single‐celled trichomes that initiate from the epidermal cells of the ovules
at or before anthesis. Here, we identified that the histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity is …

Key message The fiber length-related qFL-A12-5 identified in CSSLs introgressed from
Gossypium barbadense into Gossypium hirsutum was fine-mapped to an 18.8 kb region on …

Cotton fiber elongation is a critical growth phase that affects final fiber length. Morphological
analysis indicated an asynchronous fiber elongation pattern between two cotton varieties, J7 …
