Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: GhPFN2
  • Gene Name: profilin2
  • Genome: TM1_NBI
  • Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

  • Overexpression of a Profilin (GhPFN2) Promotes the Progression of Developmental Phases in Cotton Fibers.
  • In this work, the function of a fiber-preferential actin-binding protein (GhPFN2) was characterized by cytological and molecular studies on the fibers of transgenic green-colored cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) through three successive generations.
  • Overexpression of GhPFN2 caused pre-terminated cell elongation, resulting in a marked decrease in the length of mature fibers.
  • These data demonstrate that formation of the higher actin structure plays a determinant role in the progression of developmental phases in cotton fibers, and that GhPFN2 acts as a critical modulator in this process. Such a function of the actin cytoskeleton in cell phase conversion may be common to other secondary wall-containing plant cells.
