Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Gossypium hirsutum Mutant (xin w 139) and Wild-Type (Xin W 139) Plants During Seed Embryo Development.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cotton seeds are the main byproduct of cotton crops. The phenomenon of plants failing to develop mature and full seeds is called seed embryo abortion, which leads to a decrease in seed yield and potentially causes economic losses. METHODS: We report a phenotypic evaluation of seed embryos from G. hirsutum mutant (xin w 139) and wild-type (Xin W 139) lines and a comparative RNA-seq study at four...
