Stable Transformation and Expression of GhEXPA8 Fibre Expansin Gene to Improve Fibre Length and Micronaire Value in Cotton

Stable Transformation and Expression of GhEXPA8 Fibre Expansin Gene to Improve Fibre Length and Micronaire Value in Cotton

Cotton fibre is multigenic trait controlled by number of genes. Previous studies suggest that one of these genes may be responsible for switching cotton fibre growth on and off to influence the fibre quality produced from a cotton seed. In the present study, the Gossypium hirsutum GhEXPA8 fibre expa...
