Endoreplication, also called endoreduplication, is a cell cycle variant of multicellular
eukaryotes in which mitosis is skipped and cells repeatedly replicate their DNA, resulting in …

Sometimes, proteins, biological structures or even organisms have similar functions and
appearances but have evolved through widely divergent pathways. There is experimental …

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 …

The capacity of conventional breeding to simultaneously improve the yield and quality of
cotton fiber is limited. The accumulation of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in …

Cotton (Gossypium spp) plants produce seed trichomes (cotton fibers) that are an important
commodity worldwide; however, genes controlling cotton fiber development have not been …

Plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis is time‐consuming and highly genotype‐
dependent. The plant somatic embryogenesis process provokes many epigenetics changes …

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 …

Leaf hairs (trichomes) of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) have been extensively used as
a model to address general questions in cell and developmental biology. Here, we lay the …

Background Somatic embryogenesis (SE), by which somatic cells of higher plants can
dedifferentiate and reorganize into new plants, is a notable illustration of cell totipotency …

Two protocols of plant regeneration for cotton were adopted in this study, namely, 2, 4-D and
kinetin hormone combination and IBA and kinetin hormone combination. Twenty-eight …
