Comparative Metabolomics Analysis Reveals Sterols and Sphingolipids Play a Role in Cotton Fiber Cell Initiation
Cotton fiber is a seed trichome that protrudes from the outer epidermis of cotton ovule on the day of anthesis (0 day past anthesis, 0 DPA). The initial number and timing of fiber cells are closely related to fiber yield and quality. However, the mechanism underlying fiber initiation is still unclea...

Here, we detected and compared the contents and compositions of sphingolipids and sterols in 0 DPA ovules of <i>Xuzhou142 lintless-fuzzless mutants</i> (<i>Xufl</i>) and <i>Xinxiangxiaoji lintless-fuzzless mutants</i> (<i>Xinfl</i>) and upland cotton wild-type Xuzhou142 (XuFL).

Cotton fiber is a seed trichome that protrudes from the outer epidermis of cotton ovule on the day of anthesis (0 day past anthesis, 0 DPA). The initial number and timing of fiber cells are closely related to fiber yield and quality. However, the mechanism underlying fiber initiation is still unclear. Here, we detected and compared the contents and compositions of sphingolipids and sterols in 0 DPA ovules of <i>Xuzhou142 lintless-fuzzless mutants</i> (<i>Xufl</i>) and <i>Xinxiangxiaoji lintless-fuzzless mutants</i> (<i>Xinfl</i>) and upland cotton wild-type Xuzhou142 (XuFL).
