Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an economically important natural fiber crop. The quality of
cotton fiber has a substantial effect on the quality of cotton textiles. The identification of …

The packaging of chromatin into the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell requires an extraordinary
degree of compaction and physical organization. In recent years, it has been shown that this …

Crop plants contain large amounts of secondary compounds that interfere with protein
extraction and gel-based proteomic analysis. Thus, a protein extraction protocol that can be …

Plant cell growth and stress signaling require Ca2+ influx through plasma membrane
transport proteins that are regulated by reactive oxygen species. In root cell growth …

Abstract LIN-11, Isl1 and MEC-3 (LIM)-domain proteins play pivotal roles in a variety of
cellular processes in animals, but plant LIM functions remain largely unexplored. Here, we …

In this study, we identified a defense-related major latex protein (MLP) from upland cotton
(designated GhMLP28) and investigated its functional mechanism. GhMLP28 transcripts …

The quality of cotton fiber is determined by its final length and strength, which is a function of
primary and secondary cell wall deposition. Using a comparative proteomics approach, we …

Cotton fiber is a specialized unicellular structure useful for the study of cellular differentiation
and development. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been shown to be involved in various …

Plant tissues contain large amounts of secondary compounds that significantly interfere with
protein extraction and 2DE analysis. Thus, sample preparation is a crucial step prior to 2DE …

Most of the world's natural fiber comes from cotton (Gossypium spp.), which is an important
crop worldwide. Characterizing genes that regulate cotton yield and fiber quality is expected …
