Project description:Our study provides evidence for the mechanism of Glc regulation of cotton fiber elongation, indicating that Glc not only serves as a nutrient, but also serves as a signal to regulate cotton fiber elongation. We also provided evidence that there is crosstalk between Glc and BR, and that the BR signal is located downstream of the Glc signal in the regulation of cotton fiber elongation
Project description:ADC2 has a positive regulating effect on fiber elongation, which provides a basis for future cotton fiber development and research.

Project description:RNAs from the upland cotton 9-DPA fibers were compared to the 9-DPA fiber-detached ovule. RNAs from the upland cotton 9-DPA fibers were compared to the 9-DPA fiber-detached ovule.
Project description:Sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) has superior fiber quality properties such as length, fineness and strength, while Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is characterized by high yield. To reveal features of Upland cotton and Sea-island cotton fiber cells, differential genes expression profiles during fiber cell elongation and in secondary wall deposits were established using cDNA microarray technology. This research provides a valuable genomic resource to deepen our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cotton fiber development, and may ultimately lead to improvements in cotton fiber quality and yield.
Project description:To identify potential miRNAs involved in fiber development and elucidate their expression differences between G. barbadense and G. hirsutum, we constructed two small RNA libraries, Gb10 and Gh10, prepared from fibers of 3-79 (G. barbadense) and TM-1 (G. hirsutum) collected at 10 days post-anthesis (DPA). We identified 28 conserved miRNA families, including 24 that exactly match known plant miRNA families in miRBase. With MIREAP and newly developed software miRsearcher, 7 candidate-novel miRNAs were found. 5 candidate-novel miRNAs were expressed in both species, 2 candidate-novel miRNAs were expressed only in one species. Moreover, 4 miRNA families showed significant expression differences between sea-island cotton and upland cotton in 10 DPA fibers. two examples including 3-79 and TM-1 10 DPA fibers

Project description:Cotton fibers are seed trichomes, and their development undergoes a series of rapid and dynamic changes from fiber cell initiation, elongation to primary and secondary wall biosynthesis and fiber maturation. Previous studies showed that cotton homologues encoding putative MYB transcription factors and phytohormone responsive factors were induced during early stages of ovule and fiber development. Many of these factors are targets of microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs are ~21 nucleotide (nt) RNA molecules derived from non-coding endogenous genes and mediate target regulation by mRNA degradation or translational repression. Here we show that among ~4-million reads of small RNAs derived from the fiber and non-fiber tissues, the 24-nt small RNAs were most abundant and were highly enriched in ovules and fiber-bearing ovules relative to leaves. A total of 28 putative miRNAs families, including 25 conserved and 3 novel miRNAs were identified in at least one of the cotton tissues examined. Thirty-two pre-miRNA hairpins representing 19 unique families were detected in Cotton Gene Indices version 9 (CGI9) using mirCheck. Sequencing, miRNA microarray, and small RNA blot analyses showed that many of these miRNAs differentially accumulated during ovule and fiber development. The cotton miRNAs examined triggered target cleavage in the same predicted sites of the cotton targets in ovules and fibers as that of the orthologous target genes in Arabidopsis. Targets of the potential new cotton miRNAs matched the previously characterized ESTs derived from cotton ovules and fibers. The miRNA targets including those encoding auxin response factors were differentially expressed during fiber development. We suggest that both conserved and new miRNAs play an important role in the rapid and dynamic process of fiber and ovule development in cotton.
