The paper shows that anionic fluorescent dyes up to 1 kDa pass through plasmodesmata while smaller cationic ones do not, suggesting plasmodesmal pores may have positive charges.

This study presents a high-resolution transcriptomic analysis of cotton fiber development, identifying key gene expression shifts and regulatory networks during secondary wall synthesis.

The paper uses quantitative phenotyping and computational modeling to study cotton fiber growth variability and links it to gene expression and agronomic traits.
