Abstract excerpt
Cotton produces two types of fibers: fuzz and lint. Cotton yield is determined by the number of epidermal cells that develop into lint fibers. Despite numerous studies, the genetic and molecular mechanisms that control lint and fuzz fiber development remain unclear. Here, using the recessive naked-seed or fuzzless-linted mutant (n2NSM) in combination with gene editing and complementation, we found that the...
