Auxin Regulates Cotton Fiber Initiation via GhPIN-Mediated Auxin Transport.

Cotton fibers are seed trichomes that make cotton unique compared with other plants. At anthesis, IAA, a major auxin in plants, accumulates in the fiber cell to promote cell initiation. However, many important aspects of this process are not clear.

Localization of QTLs for seed color using recombinant inbred lines of Brassica napus in different environments.

Yellow seed is one of the most important traits of Brassica napus L. Efficient selection of the yellow-seed trait is one of the most important objectives in oilseed rape breeding. Two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations (RIL-1 and RIL-2) were analyzed for 2 years at 2 locations.
