Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: GhExp2
• Gene Name: alpha-expansin precursor 2
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• Exp2 polymorphisms associated with variation for fiber quality properties in cotton.
• Previous expression profile analysis revealed that six Expansin A genes are present in cotton, of which two (GhExp1 and GhExp2) produce transcripts that are specific to the developing cotton fiber.
• There was a significant association of Exp2 with fiber quality traits.
• The amino acid sequence derived from GhExp2 was most closely related (with 97% sequence identity) to that from GhExp1, which may play an important role in cell wall extension during fiber development.
