Fig. 5From: Metabolomic and transcriptomic insights into how cotton fiber transitions to secondary wall synthesis, represses lignification, and prolongs elongationExpression of GhRAC13 peaks during transitional cell wall remodeling. (a) The level of expression of GhRAC13 (GenBank: S79308.1) is shown for Gb (grey bars) and Gh (white bars) fiber at 10 to 28 DPA, as derived from the RNA-Seq data. In both fibers, the similar timing of upregulated expression corresponds to the similar timing of the transition stage. (b) Expression of an RBOHC homolog (related to Gorai.001G053300.1) that may contribute to the oxidative burst by producing superoxide. Asterisks indicate a significant difference in the cross-genotype comparison (p ≤ 1E-4). Error bars are standard deviationBack to article page
