The cotton fibre serves as a valuable experimental system to study cell wall synthesis in
plants, but our understanding of the genetic regulation of this process during fibre …

Among the longest cell types known in plants, cotton fibers are economically important seed
trichomes that provide a unique single‐celled model system for studying fundamental …

Cotton fibers are single-celled seed trichomes of major economic importance. Factors that
regulate the rate and duration of cell expansion control fiber morphology and important …

Background Understanding the evolutionary genetics of modern crop phenotypes has a
dual relevance to evolutionary biology and crop improvement. Modern upland cotton …

Cotton fiber qualities including length, strength and fineness are known to be controlled by
genes affecting cell elongation and secondary cell wall (SCW) biosynthesis, but the …

The single-celled cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fiber provides an excellent model to
investigate how human selection affects phenotypic evolution. To gain insight into the …

Background The morphogenesis of single-celled cotton fiber includes extreme elongation
and staged cell wall differentiation. Designing strategies for improving cotton fiber for textiles …

Plant cell growth involves a complex interplay among cell-wall expansion, biosynthesis, and,
in specific tissues, secondary cell wall (SCW) deposition, yet the coordination of these …

Gene expression profiles of developing cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fibers from two near-
isogenic lines (NILs) that differ in fiber-bundle strength, short-fiber content, and in fewer than …

Pima cotton (G ossypium barbadense) is widely cultivated because of its long, strong seed
trichomes ('fibers') used for premium textiles. These agronomically advanced fibers were …
