Genetic and transcriptomic dissection of the fiber length trait from a cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) MAGIC population

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Improving cotton fiber length without reducing yield is one of the major goals of cotton breeding. However, genetic improvement of cotton fiber length by breeding has been a challenge due to the narrow genetic diversity of modern cotton ...

Protein responses in kenaf plants exposed to drought conditions determined using iTRAQ technology

FEBS Open Bio, 2018
The molecular mechanisms that underlie drought stress responses in kenaf, an important crop for the production of natural fibers, are poorly understood. To address this issue, we describe here the first iTRAQ‐based comparative proteomic analysis of kenaf

A cotton annexin protein AnxGb6 regulates fiber elongation through its interaction with actin 1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Annexins are assumed to be involved in regulating cotton fiber elongation, but direct evidence remains to be presented. Here we cloned six Annexin genes (AnxGb) abundantly expressed in fiber from sea-island cotton (G. barbadense).
