Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Ethylene biosynthesis was strongly upregulated during cotton fiber elongation.
- Observation ACO1-3 expression was significantly higher during fiber elongation.
- Association Ethylene released from ovules correlated with ACO expression.
- Association Ethylene release correlated with fiber growth rate.
- Intervention effect Applied ethylene promoted fiber cell expansion.
- Observation Brassinosteroid biosynthesis was modestly upregulated during fiber growth.
- Intervention effect BR promoted fiber growth.
- Intervention effect BRZ inhibited fiber growth.
- Observation Ethylene treatment affected fibers more strongly than BR.
- Intervention effect Ethylene overcame BRZ inhibition of fiber cells.
- Intervention effect BR much less reversed AVG inhibition.
- Mechanism Authors propose ethylene promotes elongation by increasing sucrose synthase, tubulin and expansin expression.
