Abstract Brassinosteroid (BR), a growth-promoting phytohormone, regulates many plant growth processes including cell development. However, the mechanism by which BR fiber is poorly understood. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fibers are an ideal single-cell model in to study elongation due their length. Here we report that controls cotton modulating very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) biosynthesis. deficiency reduces expression of 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthases (GhKCSs), rate-limiting enzymes involved...
Abstract Brassinosteroids (BRs) participate in the regulation of plant growth and development through BRI1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR1 (BES1)/BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT1 (BZR1) family transcription factors. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fibers are highly elongated single cells, BRs play a vital role fiber elongation. However, mode action on how BR is involved cotton elongation remains unexplored. Here, we generated GhBES1.4 over expression lines found that overexpression promoted elongation, whereas silencing...
Cotton is one of the major world oil crops. Cottonseed meets increasing demand fried food, ruminant feed, and renewable bio-fuels. MADS intervening keratin-like C-terminal (MIKC)-type MADS-box genes encode transcription factors that have crucial roles in various plant developmental processes. Nevertheless, this gene family has not been characterized, nor its functions investigated, cotton. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis MIKC-type tetraploid Gossypium hirsutum L., which most...
Auxin-induced genes regulate many aspects of plant growth and development. The Gretchen Hagen 3 (GH3) gene family, one three major early auxin-responsive families, is ubiquitous in the kingdom its members function as regulators modulating hormonal homeostasis, stress adaptations. Specific Auxin-amido synthetase activity GH3 subfamily II reported to reversibly inactivate or fully degrade excess auxin through formation amino acid conjugates. Despite these crucial roles, date, genome-wide...
Proline-rich extensin-like receptor kinases (PERKs) are an important class of in plants. Receptor comprise large gene families many plant species, including the 15 PERK genes Arabidopsis. At present, there is no comprehensive published study G. hirsutum. Our identified 33 Phylogenetic analysis conserved protein sequences from species grouped them into four well defined clades. The GhPERK family evolutionarily advanced that lost its introns over time. Several cis-elements were promoter...
RING-H2 finger E3 ligase (RH2FE3) genes encode cysteine-rich proteins that mediate ubiquitin activity and degrade target substrates. The roles of these in plant responses to phytohormones abiotic stresses are well documented various species, but their cotton fiber development poorly understood. To date, genome-wide identification expression analyses Gossypium hirsutum RH2FE3 have not been reported. We performed computational identification, structural phylogenetic analyses, chromosomal...
AAI genes form an evolutionarily conserved large family showing the effects of genome duplication and lacking systematic study. GhAAI66 integrates multiple flower signaling pathways to induce early flowering.
N6 -Methyladenosine (m6 A) is the most abundant methylation modification in eukaryotic mRNA. The discovery of dynamic and reversible regulatory mechanism m6 A has greatly promoted development A-led epitranscriptomics. However, characterization cotton fiber still unknown. Here, we reveal potential link between elongation by parallel A-immunoprecipitation-sequencing A-seq) RNA-seq analysis fibers from short mutants Ligonliness-2 (Li2 ) wild-type (WT). This study demonstrated a higher level Li2...
Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important natural textile fiber crop in world. The ideal plant architecture of cotton suitable for mechanical harvesting and productivity modern agricultural production. However, genes regulating development have not been fully identified. We identified a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, GhPAS1 (PAGODA1 SUPPRESSOR 1) G. hirsutum (Upland cotton). was located nucleus showed strong activation effect. Tissue-specific expression patterns that...
The glycogen synthase kinase 3/shaggy (GSK3) is a serine/threonine with important roles in animals. Although GSK3 genes have been studied for more than 30 years, plant GSK only since the last decade. Previous research has confirmed that are involved diverse processes, including floral development, brassinosteroid signaling, and responses to abiotic stresses. In this study, 20, 15 (including 5 different transcripts) 10 were identified G. hirsutum, raimondii arboreum, respectively. A total of...
Histone acts as the core for nucleosomes and is a key protein component of chromatin. Among different histone variants, H3 (HH3) variants have been reported to play vital roles in plant development. However, biological information evolutionary relationships HH3 genes cotton remain be elucidated. The current study identified 34 Gossypium hirsutum. Phylogenetic analysis classified 19 species into eight distinct clades. Sequence logos among Arabidopsis, rice, G. hirsutum amino acid residues...
