Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Gh_D08G13101
• Gene Symbol: GhERF108
• Gene Name:
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• The transcription factor ERF108 interacts with AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs to mediate cotton fiber secondary cell wall biosynthesis.
• GhERF108 RNA interference (RNAi) cotton displayed remarkably reduced cell wall thickness compared with controls.
• GhERF108 interacted with GhARF7-1 and GhARF7-2 to enhance the activation of the MYB transcription factor gene GhMYBL1 (MYB domain-like protein 1) in fibers.
• Our findings demonstrate that the collaboration between GhERF108 and GhARF7s establishes crosstalk in ethylene–auxin signaling to activate GhMYBL1, ultimately leading to the activation of fiber SCW biosynthesis.
