Gene Details:

• Gene ID: GH_A03G0210
• Gene Symbol: GhKNL1_A08
• Gene Name: class II KNOX protein 1
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• GhKNL1 controls fiber elongation and secondary cell wall synthesis by repressing its downstream genes in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum).
• A cotton class II KNOX protein (GhKNL1) as a transcription repressor functioning in fiber development.
• An effective clue for potentially improving fiber quality by genetic manipulation of GhKNL1 in cotton breeding.
• GhKNL1 influences fiber elongation by directly regulating expressions of GhEXPAs.
• Taken together, the results indicated that GhKNL1 may regulate expressions of these GhEXPAs to affect fiber elongation of cotton.
