Summary: A polysaccharides-based cell wall plays a crucial role in shaping and protecting plant cells. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) are involved in the regulation of cell wall, acting as structural components and being responsible for organizing cellulose microfibrils. They also participate in cell wall integrity signaling transduction.

Summary: The study identifies auxin response factor (ARF) genes in three cotton species, with GhARF2b playing a key role in cotton fiber development. It is shown that overexpression of GhARF2b inhibits fiber cell elongation but promotes initiation, while downregulation results in fewer but longer fibers. Additionally, GhARF2b is found to interact with GhHOX3 and repress its transcriptional activity on target genes.

Summary: Cotton fiber, a predominant plant textile globally, serves as a model for plant cell wall biosynthesis. The developmental process of cotton fiber involves multiple stages, including fiber initiation, elongation, cell wall formation, thickening, maturation, and cell death. The complex restructuring of genome-wide gene expression and physiological/biosynthetic processes during each stage contribute to the production of elongated cellulose fibers that are crucial for the cotton industry. This article provides an overview of this developmental process, highlighting its temporal and evolutionary dimensions, and proposes potential avenues for improving cotton as a crop plant.

Summary: This study identified the function of a fiber elongation-specific TPX2 protein, GhMAP20L5, in cotton. Suppression of GhMAP20L5 gene expression significantly reduced fiber elongation rate, length, and lint percentage in cotton. GhMAP20L5 specifically interacted with tubulin GhTUB13 on the cytoskeleton.

Summary: This study reveals that GhMUR3, regulated by GhMYB30, plays an essential role in cotton fiber elongation and secondary wall thickening. GhMYB30 is identified as a key regulator in fiber development and regulates fiber secondary wall synthesis by inhibiting the expression of GhMYB46.

Summary: This study found that the abundance of anthocyanidins in brown cotton fibers was higher than in green or white cotton fibers, and high levels of anthocyanidins began to appear after 20 days of fiber development. Brown cotton contained higher levels of delphinidin compared to green and white cotton. This pattern is consistent with higher expression of anthocyanin pathway genes in brown fibers.
