Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association GhHOX3 genes occur on the 12th homoeologous chromosome set and associate with fibre length QTLs.
- Intervention effect GhHOX3 overexpression lengthened fibre.
- Observation GhRDL1 and GhEXPA1 were identified as GhHOX3 targets containing L1-box.
- Mechanism GhHOX3 interacted with GhHD1 and enhanced transcriptional activity.
- Observation GhHOX3 interacted with GhSLR1, a GA repressor.
- Mechanism GhSLR1 interfered with the GhHOX3-GhHD1 interaction.
- Mechanism GhSLR1 repressed target gene transcription.
