Gene Details:

• Gene ID: GH_A04G0407
• Gene Symbol: GhTCP4A
• Gene Name:
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• The transcription factor GhTCP4 plays an important role in balancing cotton fiber cell elongation and wall synthesis.
• GhTCP4 and GhHOX3 function antagonistically to regulate cell elongation, thereby establishing temporal control of fiber cell transition to the SCW stage.
• We show that in cotton GhTCP4, a CIN-type TCP transcription factor regulated by miR319, interacts with GhHOX3 to coordinate fiber cell elongation and SCW biosynthesis, two events that are key to cotton fiber traits.
