From: GhLTPG1, a cotton GPI-anchored lipid transfer protein, regulates the transport of phosphatidylinositol monophosphates and cotton fiber elongation

Figure 7

Suppressed GhLTPG1 gene expression results in lower expression of fiber elongation-associated genes and lower polar lipid in cotton fiber.

(a) The expression levels of six fiber elongation related genes in Coker312 are lower than those of VIGS plant at different stages (0, 3, 6, 9 DPA) (**, P < 0.01). (b) The ovules of GhLTPG1 VIGS plants have lower amount of PI (phosphatidylinositol) and total polar lipids than those of Coker312 and the percentage of PI/total polar lipids in GhLTPG1 silenced ovules is reduced. Asterisks denote the values significantly different from the corresponding controls (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01) by t-test analysis.
