Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: GhFLA1
• Gene Name: Fasciclin-Like Arabinogalactan Protein
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• A Fasciclin-Like Arabinogalactan Protein, GhFLA1, Is Involved in Fiber Initiation and Elongation of Cotton.
• Overexpression of GhFLA1 in cotton promoted fiber elongation, leading to an increase in fiber length.
• Expression levels of GhFLAs and the genes related to primary cell wall biosynthesis were remarkably enhanced in the GhFLA1 overexpression transgenic fibers, whereas the transcripts of these genes were dramatically reduced in the fibers of GhFLA1 RNA interference plants.
• Our results suggested that GhFLA1 may function in fiber initiation and elongation by affecting AGP composition and the integrity of the primary cell wall matrix.
