Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: GhABH was fine-mapped to a stable multi-effect fiber QTL on chromosome A06 through KASP genotyping and RNA-seq analysis. SNPs in GhABH showed significant associations with fiber traits. GhABH-VIGS simultaneously enhanced fiber length, strength, and fineness by regulating cell wall thickness and helical growth. Arabidopsis overexpression lines exhibited shortened root hairs and reduced stem cell wall...
