Abstract:
:Cotton fiber cells elongate without dividing to form economically valuable spinnable fiber. Reports of the ploidy level of fiber cells are variable. Early reports indicated an increase in nuclear DNA content in young fibers; however, subsequent reports failed to observe such a significant increase in ploidy level. Evaluation and analysis of genes involved in regulation of DNA synthesis and other aspects of cell cycle regulation identified relevant genes that were present in fiber cells though usually at low levels. We report the isolation and characterization of another gene likely to be involved in cell cycle/DNA synthesis control. This gene was similar to a gene from Medicago species that controls entry into anaphase by regulating the activity of the anaphase promoting complex ability to ubiquinate selected proteins. The cotton gene was composed of nine exons and the deduced translational sequences have motifs similar to a Medicago gene expressed in highly polyploid cells. Based on this similarity the cotton gene was designated Ghcdh. Ghcdh is highly expressed in meristems and leaves but is present at much lower levels in fiber cells. These data are consistent with the lower levels of polyploidy reported for cotton fiber. A simple sequence repeat was identified in the gene that may be exploited as a marker to map this gene and associate it with important traits in cotton.
