Oil candidate genes in seeds of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and functional validation of GhPXN1.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cottonseed oil is a promising edible plant oil with abundant unsaturated fatty acids. However, few studies have been conducted to explore the characteristics of cottonseed oil. The molecular mechanism of cottonseed oil accumulation remains unclear.

Results

In the present study, we conducted comparative transcriptome and weighted gene co-expression network (WGCNA) analysis for two G. hirsutum materials with significant difference in cottonseed oil content. Results showed that, between the high oil genotype 6053 (H6053) and the low oil genotype 2052 (L2052), a total of 412, 507, 1,121, 1,953, and 2,019 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected at 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 DPA, respectively. Remarkably, a large number of the down-regulated DEGs were enriched i
