Abstract

This study summarizes the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms involved in cotton fiber growth, focusing on the roles of key transcription factors and their downstream targets, provides a detailed analysis of transcription factors related to fiber initiation, elongation, and secondary cell wall synthesis, including AUX/IAA, bHLH, MYB, NAC, and WRKY, and their functions at different developmental stages. The study demonstrates the close cooperation of hormone signaling, transcription factors, and epigenetic mechanisms in regulating cotton fiber growth and quality. This study discusses the application of RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9 technologies in functional validation of cotton fiber genes, highlighting the potential of gene editing and synthetic biology in fiber trait improvement. This review provides a scientific foundation for understanding the regulatory networks of cotton fiber development and future breeding strategies.
