Under these conditions, supplemental auxin and gibberellin were found to promote fiber Initiation and elongation. More recently, addition of low concentrations of the brassinosteroid brassinolide (BL) were also found to promote fiber elongation while a brassinosteroid biosynthesis inhibitor brassinazole2001 (Brz) inhibited fiber development. This present results confirm that exogenous BL promotes fiber elongation while treatment with Brz inhibits It. Furthermore, treatment of cotton ftoral buds with Brz results in the complete absence of fiber differentiation, Indicating that BR is required for fiber initiation as well as elongation. Expression of fiber genes associated with cell elongation increased in ovules treated with BL and was suppressed by Brz treatment ,establishing a correlation between brassinosteroid - regulated gene expression and fiber elongation. These results establish a clear connection between brassinosteroid and fiber development and open the door for genetic analysis of cotton development through direct modification of the brassinosteroid signal transduction pathway.  aSummary in Arabic. 0aCotton. 3aCotton fiber. 0aBrassinosteroids. 0aBrassinolide. 3aOvule culture.0 tMansoura University journal of agricultural sciences.g2007.v.17(3)x1110-03467nnaswu18219740auhttp://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2007/MUJAS/3207/3/1905.pdfzFull Text Article  a1  cAR2lcc  c40286d40286
