Multi-omics analysis of pigmentation related to proanthocyanidin biosynthesis in brown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.).

ABSTRACT: Naturally-colored brown cotton (NBC) fiber is an environmentally friendly raw source of fiber for textile applications. The fiber of some NBC cultivars exhibits flame-retardant properties, which can be used in textiles that require flame resistance. Proanthocyanidins or their derivatives are responsible for the brown pigment in NBC; however, how flame retardancy is related to pigmentation in NBC is poorly understood. To gain insight into brown pigment biosynthesis, we conducted comparative transcripts and metabolites profiling analysis of developing cotton fibers between the brown (MC-BL) and white (MC-WL) cotton near-isogenic lines (NILs), genetically different only in the Lc1 locus. In this study, mass spectrometry was used to detect metabolites in BL and WL developing fibers at 8
