Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: CotAD_08070
  • Gene Symbol: GhARF16-1
  • Gene Name:
  • Genome: TM1_NBI
  • Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

  • GhARF16-1 modulates leaf development by transcriptionally regulating the GhKNOX2-1 gene in cotton.
  • Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed that the GhARF16-1 and GhKNOX2-1 genes might be potential regulators of leaf shape.
  • Overexpression of GhARF16-1 led to the up-regulation of GhKNOX2-1 and resulted in more and deeper serrations in cotton leaves, similar to the leaf shape of cotton plants overexpressing GhKNOX2-1.
  • Suggesting that the GhARF16-1 and GhKNOX2-1 interaction paradigm also functions to regulate leaf shape in Arabidopsis. To our knowledge, our results uncover a novel mechanism by which auxin, through the key component ARF16-1 and its downstream-activated gene KNOX2-1, determines leaf morphology in eudicots.
