Activation of Arabidopsis seed hair development by cotton fiber-related genes

ABSTRACT: This experiment was designed to investigate the molecular basis of cotton fiber cell initiation. 32,000 ESTs were sequenced from Gossypium hirsutum L. TM-1 immature ovules (GH_TMO) and developed cotton oligonucleotide microarrays containing ~23,000 unigenes. Transcriptome analyses were performed to compare gene expression changes in laser capture microdissected fiber cell initials (or epidermis) and inner ovules. The gene expression profiles of the fiber cell initials were compared with those of the inner ovules in each developmental stage prior to, right at, and shortly after the initiation of fiber cells. Many genes in various molecular function or biological processes were over- or under-represented between fibers and non-fiber tissues in each developmental stage, suggesting temporal re
