SUMMARY Cotton fibers are aerial trichoblasts that employ a highly polarized diffuse growth mechanism to emerge from the developing ovule epidermis. After executing a complicated morphogenetic program, the cells reach lengths over 2 cm and serve as the foundation of a multi‐billion‐dollar textile industry.

Quantitative proteomics reveals the mechanism and consequence of gliotoxin-mediated dysregulation of the methionine cycle in Aspergillus niger [PDF]
Gliotoxin (GT) is a redox-active metabolite, produced by Aspergillus fumigatus,which inhibits the growth of other fungi. Here we demonstrate how Aspergillus niger responds to GT exposure.
