摘要： Key messageGhIQD21, a cotton IQ67-domain protein, interacts with GhCaM7 and alters organ shape in Arabidopsis by modulating microtubule stability.Calcium ion (Ca2+) and the calcium sensor calmodulin play crucial roles in the growth and development of plants. GhCaM7, a calmodulin in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), is highly expressed in cotton fiber cells during the rapid elongation period and plays an important role in fiber cell development. In this study, we screened for GhCaM7-interacting proteins and identified GhIQD21, which contains a typical IQ67-domain. GhIQD21 was preferentially expressed at the fiber rapid elongation stage, and the protein localized to microtubules (MTs). Ectopic expression of GhIQD21 in Arabidopsis resulted in shorter leaves, petals, siliques, and plant height, thicker inflorescences, and more trichomes when compared with wild type (WT). Further investigation indicated that the morphogenesis of leaf epidermal cells and silique cells was altered. There was less consistency in the orientation of cortical microtubules in cotyledon and hypocotyl epidermal cells. Furthermore, compared with WT, transgenic seedling hypocotyls were more sensitive to oryzalin, a MT depolymerization drug. These results indicated that GhIQD21 is a GhCaM7-interacting protein located in MTs and that it plays a role in plant growth and potentially cotton fiber development. This study provides a foundation for further studies of the function and regulatory mechanism of GhIQD21 in fiber cell development.
