Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: GbEXPATR
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Gossypium barbadense

Functional Descriptions:

• GbEXPATR, a species-specific expansin, enhances cotton fibre elongation through cell wall restructuring.
• GbEXPATR overexpression resulted in longer, finer and stronger fibres coupled with significantly thinner cell walls.
• GbEXPATR overexpression enhances fibre length, fineness and strength, but GbEXPA2 overexpression had little positive effect.
• GbEXPATR, has a more dramatic effect through reorganizing secondary wall synthesis and metabolism and should be a candidate gene for developing G. hirsutum cultivars with superior fibre quality.
