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...

Trichomes control flower bud shape by linking together young petals
Trichomes are widespread in plants and develop from surface cells on different tissues1. They have many forms and functions, from defensive spines to physical barriers that trap layers of air to insulate against ...

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...

Overexpression of Arabidopsis cyclin D2;1 in cotton results in leaf curling and other plant architectural modifications
The D-class cyclin genes play key roles in controlling the cell cycle in plant development. To evaluate the effects of D-type cyclins on plant architecture, ectopic expression of the Arabidopsis c...

Suppression of GhAGP4 gene expression repressed the initiation and elongation of cotton fiber
Cotton fibers, important natural raw materials for the textile industry, are trichomes elongated from epidermal cells of cotton ovules. To date, a number of genes have been shown to be critical for fiber devel...

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...

Suitable internal control genes for qRT-PCR normalization in cotton fiber development and somatic embryogenesis
The mechanisms of cotton fiber development and somatic embryogenesis have been explored systematically with microarray and suppression subtractive hybridization. Real-time RT-PCR provides the simultaneous meas...
