    A cotton germin-like protein GbGLP2 controls fiber length via regulating genes involved in secondary cell wall synthesis

    Cotton is not only a natural fiber crop, but also an important economic crop in China. The cultivation of cotton with longer, stronger, and finer fiber has been the goal of cotton breeders. Germin-like protein...

    Exogenous Jasmonic Acid Inhibits Cotton Fiber Elongation

    Jasmonic acid (JA) is a well-characterized phytohormone that acts in various ways to influence plant development. Its role in cotton fiber development, however, has not yet been thoroughly explored. In this st...

    Analysis of genes differentially expressed during initial cellular dedifferentiation in cotton

    The early phase of phytohormone induction is a vital stage of somatic embryogenesis. This phase includes a key process for acquiring cellular totipotency through cellular dedifferentiation. To unravel the mole...
