Germin and germin-like proteins (GLPs) are encoded by a family of genes found in all
plants. They are part of the cupin superfamily of biochemically diverse proteins, a …

Cotton fibre is a unicellular seed trichome, and lint fibre initials per seed as a factor
determines fibre yield. However, the mechanisms controlling fibre initiation from ovule …

The incompatible pathosystem between resistant cotton (Gossypium barbadense cv. 7124)
and Verticillium dahliae strain V991 was used to study the cotton transcriptome changes …

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 …

The complex allotetraploid genome is one of major challenges in cotton for repressing gene
expression. Developing site-specific DNA mutation is the long-term dream for cotton …

Jasmonic acid (JA) signaling has been well studied in Arabidopsis. Most reports focus on
the role of JA in biological pathways, such as stress resistance, trichome initiation and …

Plants have evolved an elaborate signaling network to ensure an appropriate level of
immune response to meet the differing demands of developmental processes. Previous …

As the most important natural raw material for textile industry, cotton fibres are an excellent
model for studying single-cell development. Although expression profiling and functional …

The cotton (Gossypium spp.) fiber is a unique elongated cell that is useful for investigating
cell differentiation. Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of factors such as …

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 …
