Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: GhPFN1
  • Gene Name: profilin 1 gene
  • Genome: TM1_NBI
  • Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

  • Functional characterization of Gossypium hirsutum profilin 1 gene (GhPFN1) in tobacco suspension cells.
  • We previously cloned a cDNA encoding an isoform of cotton profilin and found that the gene (designated GhPFN1) was preferentially expressed in cotton fibers.
  • Overexpression of GhPFN1 in the transgenic tobacco cells was correlated with the formation of elongated cells that contained thicker and longer microfilament cables.
  • Based on these data, we propose that GhPFN1 may play a critical role in the rapid elongation of cotton fibers by promoting actin polymerization.
