GhSOC1s Evolve to Respond Differently to the Environmental Cues and Promote Flowering in Partially Independent Ways.

ABSTRACT: Gossypium hirsutum is most broadly cultivated in the world due to its broader adaptation to the environment and successful breeding of early maturity varieties. However, how cotton responds to environmental cues to adjust flowering time to achieve reproductive success is largely unknown. SOC1 functions as an essential integrator for the endogenous and exogenous signals to maximize reproduction. Thus we identified six SOC1-like genes in Gossypium that clustered into two groups. GhSOC1-1 contained a large intron and clustered with monocot SOC1s, while GhSOC1-2/3 were close to dicot SOC1s. GhSOC1s expression gradually increased during seedling development suggesting their conserved function in promoting flowering, which was supported by
