Abnormal programmed cell death in the tapetum is induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are the main factors leading to cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). These abnormalities are caused by genetic interactions between nuclear and cytoplasmic genes. To explore the role of chloroplast genes in ROS metabolism, next-generation and single-molecule real-time sequencing of the chloroplast genome were performed in the cotton CMS line Jin A (Jin A-CMS).

Article Synopsis
  • * A total of 62 CSP proteins were identified, showing similar gene structures and domains across three evolutionary branches, with key conserved domains found in all cotton families.
  • * The analysis suggests that specific CSP genes may help cotton respond to low-temperature stress, indicating their regulatory roles in various stress responses and potential for further research in cotton’s molecular mechanisms.

Background: Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is the basis of heterosis exploitation. CMS has been used to hybrid production in cotton, but its molecular mechanism remains unclear. CMS is associated with advanced or delayed tapetal programmed cell death (PCD), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) may mediate this process.

Cotton is one of the most important crops in the world. GDSL-type esterases/lipases (GELPs) are widely present in all kingdoms and play an essential role in regulating plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this functional diversity remain unclear.

() genes play essential roles in various processes, such as auxin catabolism, removal of HO, crosslinking cell wall components, and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, we identified 166, 78 and 89 genes from , and , respectively. These genes were classified into seven subfamilies based on phylogenetic tree analysis and the classification of genes in .

Background: Cotton is an important fiber crop but has serious heterosis effects, and cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is the major cause of heterosis in plants. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have investigated CMS Yamian A in cotton with the genetic background of Australian wild Gossypium bickii. Conjoint transcriptomic and proteomic analysis was first performed between Yamian A and its maintainer Yamian B.
