Abstract：
Cotton crop is considered valuable for its fiber and seed oil. Cotton fiber is a single-celled outgrowth from the ovule epidermis, and it is a very dynamic cell for study. It has four distinct but overlapping developmental stages: initiation, elongation, secondary cell wall synthesis, and maturation. Among the various qualitative characteristics of cotton fiber, the important ones are the cotton fiber staple length, tensile strength, micronaire values, and fiber maturity. Actin dynamics are known to play an important role in fiber elongation and maturation. The current review gives an insight into the cotton fiber developmental stages, the qualitative traits associated with cotton fiber, and the set of genes involved in regulating these developmental stages and fiber traits. This review also highlights some prospects for how biotechnological approaches can improve cotton fiber quality.
摘要：
棉花作物因其纤维和种子油而被认为是有价值的。棉纤维是胚珠表皮的单细胞生长产物，这是一个非常有活力的研究细胞。它有四个不同但重叠的发育阶段：起始，伸长率,次生细胞壁合成,和成熟。在棉纤维的各种定性特征中，重要的是棉纤维的短纤维长度，抗拉强度,micronaire值，和纤维成熟度。已知肌动蛋白动力学在纤维伸长和成熟中起重要作用。当前的综述对棉纤维的发育阶段进行了深入的了解，与棉纤维相关的定性特征，以及调节这些发育阶段和纤维性状的一组基因。这篇综述还强调了生物技术方法如何提高棉纤维质量的一些前景。
