Transcriptional regulation of phospholipid transport in cotton fiber elongation by GhMYB30D04-GhHD1 interaction complex.

ABSTRACT: Cotton fiber length is basically determined by well-coordinated gene expression and phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) accumulation during fiber elongation but the regulatory mechanism governing PIPs transport remains unknown. Here, we report a MYB transcription factor GhMYB30D04 in Gossypium hirsutum that promotes fiber elongation through modulating the expression of PIP transporter gene GhLTPG1. Knockout of GhMYB30D04 gene in cotton (KO) results in a reduction of GhLTPG1 transcripts with lower accumulation of PIPs, leading to shorter fibers and lower fiber yield. Conversely, GhMYB30D04 overexpression (GhMYB30D04-OE) causes richer PIPs and longer cotton fibers, mimicking the effects of exogenously applying PIPs on the ovules of GhMYB30D04-KO and wild type. Furthermore, GhMYB30D04 inte
