Abstract excerpt
Cellulose synthases (CesAs) are multi-subunit enzymes found on the plasma membrane of plant cells and play a pivotal role in cellulose production. The cotton fiber is mainly composed of cellulose, and the genetic relationships between CesA genes and cotton fiber yield and quality are not fully understood. Through a phylogenetic analysis, the CesA gene family in diploid Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium raimondii,...
