摘要： Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an important economic crop, and cotton fiber is one of the longest plant cells, which provides an ideal model for the study of cell elongation and secondary cell wall synthesis. Cotton fiber length is regulated by a variety of transcription factors (TF) and their target genes; however, the mechanism of fiber elongation mediated by transcriptional regulatory networks is still unclear to a large extent. Here, we used a comparative assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) assay and RNA-seq analysis to identify fiber elongation transcription factors and genes using the short-fiber mutant ligon linless-2 (Li-2) and wild type (WT). A total of 499 differential target genes were identified and GO analysis shows that differential genes are mainly involved in plant secondary wall synthesis and microtubule-binding processes. Analysis of the genomic regions preferentially accessible (Peak) has identified a number of overrepresented TF-binding motifs, highlighting sets of TFs that are important for cotton fiber development. Using ATAC-seq and RNA-seq data, we have constructed a functional regulatory network of each TF regulatory target gene and also the network pattern of TF regulating differential target genes. Further, to obtain the genes related to fiber length, the differential target genes were combined with FLGWAS data to identify the genes highly related to fiber length. Our work provides new insights into cotton fiber elongation.
