Mature cotton fiber secondary cell wall contains over 90%cellulose with little xylan and lignin.However,little is known about the regulation of secondary wall biosynthesis in cotton fiber.In this report,we have characterized a R2R3-MYB transcription factor,GhMYB7,previously proposed to function in the transcriptional regulation of the Ltp3 gene and participate in the GA signaling pathway during fiber development.GhMYB7 is predominantly expressed in developing fibers,most strongly in 0 dpa fibers and to a lower extent in 20 dpa fibers undergoing secondary wall thickening.Its encoded protein is targeted to the nucleus and has transcriptional activation activity suggesting GhMYB7 is likely to be transcriptional activator functioning in cotton fiber.We showed that ectopic expression of GhMYB7 in Arabidopsis resulted in small up-curly dark green leaves,shorter and thinner inflorescence stems.In addition,cross sections of basal stems revealed cell wall thickness of vessels and interfascicular fibers is increased in overexpression lines compared with the wild type.We also demonstrated that constitutive expression of GhMYB7 in Arabidopsis induced ectopic deposition of cellulose and lignin and activated expression of a suite of secondary wall biosynthetic genes and secondary wall associated transcriptional factors.The ectopic deposition of secondary walls may have started early before cessation of cell expansion.Moreover,GhMYB7 was capable of binding to the promoters of AtSND1 and AtCesA4 which implies GhMYB7 may function upstream of NAC transcription factors.Collectively,these findings suggest GhMYB7 may be a potential transcriptional activator and participate in the regulation of the whole secondary wall biosynthesis program in cotton fiber.

Drosophila genetic analyses have suggested that Pez is essential for the activity of the Hippo pathway specifically in Drosophila midgut epithelium.
Whether the Hippo pathway contributes to cell lineage transition under pathological conditions, especially tumorigenesis, remains largely unknown.
Hippo信号通路在细胞增殖与组织生长中起着非常重要的作用,其核心的信号转导机制是Hippo激酶对Warts磷酸化之后促进其对辅助转录因子Yorkie的磷酸化,后者与14-3-3蛋白相互作用滞留在细胞质中进而被降解,从而抑制Yorkie下游基因的转录。在此,我们发现了Licorne是调控Hippo信号通路的新基因。在果蝇翅膀成虫盘上过表达Licorne时,激活Yorkie下游靶基因expanded
