This study shows epididymal extracellular vesicles transfer mRNAs to sperm, which then influence early embryo gene expression.

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

This study profiles the glycome and transcriptome of cotton fibers daily to identify polysaccharide structures and glycosyltransferases critical for fiber growth and quality.

The paper sequenced and analyzed the G. herbaceum cv Wagad genome to study domestication changes and gene expression in diploid cotton.
