Application

Application Comment Organism
biotechnology SMT2-1 overexpression leads to changes of phytosterol content and the ratio of campesterol to sitosterol in fiber cell. At the rapid elongation stage of fiber cell, total phytosterol and sitosterol contents are increased while campesterol content is decreased in transgenic fibers. The ratio of campesterol to sitosterol declines strikingly. The transgenic fibers are shorter and thicker than control fibers. Exogenous application of sitosterol or campesterol inhibits control fiber cell elongation in cotton ovule culture system in vitro. Campesterol treatment partially rescues fiber elongation in overexpressing plants Gossypium hirsutum
