Plant growth requires cell wall extension. The cotton AtRD22-Like I gene GhRDL1, predominately expressed in elongating fiber cells, encodes a BURP domain-containing protein. Here, we show that GhRDL1 is localized in c...

Cotton fiber strength is mainly determined during the secondary cell wall (SCW) thickening stage. In 24―25 days post anthesis (DPA) of SCW thickening stage, cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was carr...

The accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is involved in plant cell development. In plant, class III peroxidases are heme-containing enzymes encoded by a large multi-gene family participated in the release o...
Cotton fibers elongate rapidly after initiation of elongation, eventually leading to the deposit of a large amount of cellulose. To reveal features of cotton fiber cells at the fast elongation and the secondary cell w...
Cotton is the world's most important natural textile fi ber, and is practiced on about 2.5% of arable land that supported the life of about 100 million family units. Each cotton fi ber, about 25 000 per seed, is a sin...
β-galactosidases (EC 3.2.1.23) constitute a widespread family of enzymes in plants that is thought to be involved in metabolism of cell wall polysaccharides. We reported herein the isolation of a fulllength cDNA enco...
