Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Gh_A11G2808
• Gene Symbol: GhFP1
• Gene Name: Fibre-related Protein 1
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• A basic helix–loop–helix protein (GhFP1) promotes fibre elongation of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) by modulating brassinosteroid biosynthesis and signalling.
• A cotton bHLH protein (GhFP1) positively regulates fibre elongation. GhFP1 transgenic cotton and Arabidopsis plants were generated to study how GhFP1 regulates fibre cell elongation.
• Fibre length of the transgenic cotton overexpressing GhFP1 was significantly longer than that of wild-type, whereas suppression of GhFP1 expression hindered fibre elongation.
• Our data suggest that GhFP1 as a positive regulator participates in controlling fibre elongation by activating BR biosynthesis and signalling.
