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 cultivars have evolved to produce extensive, long, seed‐born fibers important for the
textile industry, but we know little about the molecular mechanism underlying spinnable fiber …

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 fibre is the most important source for natural textiles. The secondary cell walls
(SCWs) of mature cotton fibres contain the highest proportion of cellulose content (> 90%) in …

Cotton fibres are unusually long, single-celled epidermal seed trichomes and a model for
plant cell growth, but little is known about the regulation of fibre cell elongation. Here we …

Fiber elongation is the key determinant of fiber quality and output in cotton (G ossypium
hirsutum). Although expression profiling and functional genomics provide some data, the …

Branching determines cotton architecture and production, but the underlying regulatory
mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we report that the miR164‐GhCUC2 (CUP‐SHAPED …

Cotton fibers are seed trichomes that make cotton unique compared with other plants. At
anthesis, IAA, a major auxin in plants, accumulates in the fiber cell to promote cell initiation …

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 …

Cotton fiber is the world's most important natural textile fiber. In the USA in 2010, cotton fiber
had a 61% share of the market for apparel and home textiles (Bearden, 2010), with synthetic …
