2010 journal article

Phylogenetically Distinct Cellulose Synthase Genes Support Secondary Wall Thickening in Arabidopsis Shoot Trichomes and Cotton Fiber

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 52(2), 205–220.

By: L. Betancur n, B. Singh n, R. Rapp*, J. Wendel *, M. Marks *, A. Roberts *, C. Haigler n 

MeSH headings : Arabidopsis / genetics; Arabidopsis / metabolism; Arabidopsis Proteins / classification; Arabidopsis Proteins / genetics; Arabidopsis Proteins / physiology; Cell Wall / metabolism; Cotton Fiber; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant / genetics; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant / physiology; Glucosyltransferases / classification; Glucosyltransferases / genetics; Glucosyltransferases / physiology; Gossypium / genetics; Gossypium / metabolism; Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis; Phylogeny; Plant Proteins / classification; Plant Proteins / genetics; Plant Proteins / physiology; Plant Shoots / genetics; Plant Shoots / metabolism
TL;DR: Cumulatively, the data show that the xylem of arabidopsis provides the best model for secondary wall cellulose synthesis in cotton fiber and CesA genes within a "cell wall toolbox" are used in diverse ways for the construction of particular specialized cell walls. (via Semantic Scholar)

2009 journal article

A Specialized Outer Layer of the Primary Cell Wall Joins Elongating Cotton Fibers into Tissue-Like Bundles

Plant Physiology, 150(2), 684–699.

By: B. Singh n, U. Avci n, S. Eichler Inwood  n, M. Grimson n, J. Landgraf n, D. Mohnen  n, I. Sørensen  n, C. Wilkerson  n, W. Willats  n, C. Haigler n 

MeSH headings : Cell Wall / physiology; Cell Wall / ultrastructure; Cotton Fiber; Cryoelectron Microscopy; Gossypium / cytology; Gossypium / growth & development; Gossypium / ultrastructure; Microscopy, Electron, Transmission; Microscopy, Fluorescence; Polysaccharides / metabolism; Time Factors
TL;DR: Data show that adhesion modulated by an outer layer of the primary wall can coordinate the extensive growth of a large group of cells and illustrate dynamic changes in primary wall structure and composition occurring during the differentiation of one cell type that spends only part of its life as a tissue.

2009 journal article

A synthetic auxin (NAA) suppresses secondary wall cellulose synthesis and enhances elongation in cultured cotton fiber

Plant Cell Reports, 28(7), 1023–1032.

By: B. Singh n, H. Cheek n & C. Haigler n 

author keywords: Auxin; Cellulose; Cotton ovule culture; Fiber differentiation; Primary cell wall; Secondary cell wall
MeSH headings : Cell Wall / metabolism; Cellulose / biosynthesis; Cotton Fiber; Gene Expression Profiling; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Gossypium / genetics; Gossypium / growth & development; Gossypium / metabolism; Indoleacetic Acids / metabolism; Naphthaleneacetic Acids / metabolism; Plant Growth Regulators / metabolism; Seeds / growth & development; Seeds / metabolism
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that secondary wall cellulose synthesis is under strong transcriptional control that is influenced by auxin and must be specifically characterized in the cotton ovule/fiber culture system given the many protocol variables employed in different laboratories.

2009 chapter

Genomics of cotton fiber secondary wall deposition and cellulose biogenesis

In Genetics and genomics of cotton (pp. 385–417).

By: C. Haigler n , B. Singh n, G. Wang & D. Zhang

TL;DR: This chapter provides an overview of cellulose biogenesis, summarizes how cotton fiber has previously facilitated unique insights in this field, and explains how cellulose is important in terms of cotton fiber physical properties. (via Semantic Scholar)

2007 journal article

Transgenic cotton over-producing spinach sucrose phosphate synthase showed enhanced leaf sucrose synthesis and improved fiber quality under controlled environmental conditions

PLANT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 63(6), 815–832.

By: C. Haigler n , B. Singh n, D. Zhang*, S. Hwang, C. Wu *, W. Cai*, M. Hozain*, W. Kang * ...

author keywords: carbon partitioning; cotton fiber quality; environmental stress; sucrose, starch and cellulose metabolism; transgenic cotton
MeSH headings : Blotting, Western; Carbon Dioxide / pharmacology; Carbon Radioisotopes; Cotton Fiber; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant / drug effects; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant / radiation effects; Glucosyltransferases / genetics; Glucosyltransferases / metabolism; Gossypium / genetics; Gossypium / growth & development; Gossypium / metabolism; Light; Plant Leaves / genetics; Plant Leaves / growth & development; Plant Leaves / metabolism; Plants, Genetically Modified; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction; Spinacia oleracea / enzymology; Spinacia oleracea / genetics; Starch / metabolism; Sucrose / metabolism; Temperature
TL;DR: A family of transgenic cotton plants was produced that over-expressed spinach sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) because of its role in regulation of sucrose synthesis in photosynthetic and heterotrophic tissues and had higher fiber micronaire and maturity ratio associated with greater thickness of the cellulosic secondary wall.

2005 journal article

Long-term night chilling of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) does not result in reduced CO2 assimilation

FUNCTIONAL PLANT BIOLOGY, 32(7), 655–666.

By: B. Singh n, L. Haley*, J. Nightengale*, W. Kang *, C. Haigler n  & A. Holaday*

author keywords: carbohydrates; cotton; night chilling; photosynthesis; sucrose-phosphate synthase
TL;DR: Despite the elevated leaf carbohydrate content when plants were grown to maturity with night chilling, no reduction in A, gs, carboxylation capacity, electron transport capacity, triose-phosphate utilisation capacity occurred, and growth in cool nights tended to retard the diminishing of photosynthetic parameters and gs for aging stem and subtending leaves.
