Deciphering the dynamic expression network of fiber elongation and the functional role of the GhTUB5 gene for fiber length in cotton based on an introgression population of upland cotton.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Interspecific introgression between Gossypium hirsutum and G. barbadense allows breeding cotton with outstanding fiber length (FL). However, the dynamic gene regulatory network of FL-related genes has not been characterized, and the functional mechanism through which the hub gene GhTUB5 mediates fiber elongation has yet to be determined. METHODS: Coexpression analyses of 277 developing fiber...
