Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Gohir.A07G109700
• Gene Symbol: GhSP
• Gene Name: SELF-PRUNING
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• Cotton has five TFL1-like genes: SELF-PRUNING (GhSP) is a single gene whereas there are two TFL1-like and BROTHER OF FT (BFT)-like genes, and these duplications are specific to the cotton lineage.
• GhSP, GhTFL1-L2, and GhBFT-L2 rescue the early flowering Attfl1-14 mutant phenotype, and the encoded polypeptides interact with a cotton FD protein.
• Altering GhSFT and GhSP expression yielded highly determinate and productive cotton with reduced foliage and more synchronous fruiting. These results demonstrated that GhSFT and GhSP are important in regulating cotton architecture and suggested these could be targets for enhancing crop management and yield.
