agriculture | transgenic cotton plants in which the expression of cotton phosphatidylinositol synthase gene PIS is controlled by the fiber-specific SCFP promoter element, show the specific up-regulation of PIS during cotton fiber development. Phosphatidylinositol content is significantly enhanced in transgenic cotton fibers and the elevated level of phosphatidylinositol stimulates the expression of genes involved in phosphatidylinositol phosphorylation as well as promoting lignin/lignin-like phenolic biosynthesis. Fiber length, strength and fineness are also improved in the transgenic plants as compared to the wild-type cotton, with no loss in overall fiber yield | Gossypium hirsutum |
