Genomics of Cotton Fiber Secondary Wall Deposition and Cellulose Biogenesis

摘要: The deposition of > 90% cellulose in the cotton fiber secondary wall makes this unique cell powerful for understanding biogenesis, a process with great importance nature and industry. This chapter provides an overview summarizes how has previously facilitated insights field, explains is important terms physical properties. transcriptome discussed, including comparisons to primary-wall-stage Arabidopsis proteome. Microarray data, validation by quantitative reverse transcription PCR, are described show that transcriptomes xylem similar. functional context selected genes up-regulated discussed.
