Distribution of seed by winds
- The biological function of the cotton lint is the distribution of seed by winds, whereby the fine and light fibers serve as transportation vehicle. The fineness and smoothness of the fiber make cotton a favorite for apparel with skin contact.

Oct 7, 2024 · The green box indicates phytohormone pathway genes that are co-regulated with MYB25-like at −1 DPA (Kim et al., 2015). The genes highly expressed from −1 to 0 DPA mainly function in fiber initiation, with HOX3 being the master regulator of early-stage elongation of lint fibers.
Feb 1, 2011 · Only 25–30% of epidermal cells differentiate into the mature long-fiber cells commonly known as cotton lint, whereas others may develop into short fibers called fuzz (5–6 mm in length). In the developing fiber, initiation and elongation proceed nearly synchronously on the same ovule.

Jun 3, 2024 · This review presents a comprehensive overview of key achievements in cotton molecular biology, with a specific emphasis on recent advancements in understanding the transcription factors and phytohormones involved in cotton fiber initiation and elongation.
Mar 30, 2022 · Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an important natural fiber plant. Lint percentage (LP) is one of the most important determinants of cotton yield and is a typical quantitative trait with high variation and heritability. Many cotton LP genetic linkages and association maps have been reported.
Nov 4, 2023 · Here, we need a systematic and comprehensive genetic identification and regulatory analysis of functional genes related to cotton fiber initiation, which will broaden the possibilities for fundamental research in cotton biology.
Nov 10, 2018 · In cultivated cotton species, seed trichomes differentiate into two distinct types, long lint fibers that are easily detached from the epidermis and fuzz fibers that are short fibers strongly adhered to the seed coat (Applequist et al. 2001).
