RESUMO
KEY MESSAGE: The dynamics of cotton fiber elongation and microfibirl deposition orientation were delineated; advanced ethylene synthesis and redox reaction homeostasis may be crucial for high-quality fiber formation. Fiber length, strength, and fineness determine the use and commercial value of cotton fiber, but their underlying molecular mechanisms remain obscure. We compared the dynamic change trajectories of length, diameter and microfibril orientation angle of the fibers produced by an introgression line SY6167 which generates high-quality fibers even better than Sea island cotton with those of the common-quality fibers from TM-1 across 5 to 30 days post anthesis (DPA). The proteomes were profiled and compared at six representative time points using 2-DE and MS/MS. 14 proteins differentially expressed inside each of cotton line temporally and significantly different tween the two lines were identified. The dynamic change trajectories of fiber length and microfibril angle are close to "s" and reverse "s" growth curves, respectively. SY6167 and TM-1 fibers entered the logarithmic elongation phase simultaneously at 10 DPA, and SY6167 kept elongating logarithmically for 2 more days than TM-1. In parallel to logarithmic elongation, microfibril orientation angles dived sharply, and SY6167 declined faster for a shorter duration than TM-1. 53% of the identified proteins are related to redox homeostasis, and most of them are expressed at higher levels in SY6167 during logarithmic elongation. 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylic Acid Oxidase (ACO) started to accumulate at 16 DPA in SY6167, and its encoding genes were highly expressed at this stage, with a much higher level than TM-1. These findings suggest high-quality fibers are associated with high expression of the proteins related to stress and redox homeostasis, the continuously elevated expression of ethylene synthesis ACO gene may play an essential role.

XANTHOMONAS RESISTANCE 21-binding protein3 (XB3) is the first characterized XA21 interacting protein required for plant immunity. We isolated GhXB32A that is similar to XBAT32 and was induced during inoculation of Verticillium dahliae in cotton. 32 putative XB3 family genes were identified in G. hirsutum, G. arboreum, and G. raimondii. Cis-Acting elements related to growth, stresses, and phytohormone were detected in the promoter regions. GhXB3s were ubiquitously expressed in different cotton tissues with different patterns. Most GhXB3s were down-regulated by cold stress, but up-regulated by heat, salt, PEG, V. dahliae, ethylene, and some were up-regulated by SA or MeJA. Silencing GhXB32A and GhXB32D greatly improved resistance to Verticillium wilt, while silencing GhXB35A(D) or GhXB37A(D) made them more susceptible to V. dahliae. The interacting proteins of GhXB32A and GhXB32D were functionally enriched in response to abiotic and/or biotic stresses, and photosynthesis. XB3 family genes are potential stress resistance genes for cotton improvement.
