REGULATION OF COTTON FIBER GROWTH BY EXTRACELLULAR NUCLEOTIDES AND ECTOAPYRASES

摘要

The present invention includes compositions and methods of modulating the length of one or more cotton fibers in a plant by contacting the plant or tissue derived therefrom with at least one of: a nucleotide; a modulator of ectoapyrase gene transcription; or an anti-ectoapyrase antibody or fragments thereof, at a concentration that modulates growth of one or more cotton fibers.
