Abstract excerpt
SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein-like (SPL) genes encode plant-specific transcription factors that are involved in many fundamental developmental processes. Certain SPL genes contain sequences complementary to miR156, a microRNA (miRNA) that plays a role in modulating plant gene expression. In this study, 30 SPL genes were identified in the reference genome of Gossypium raimondii and 24 GhSPLs were cloned from...
