“…Besides over-expression, gene knockdown approaches using CRISPR/Cas technology is another approach to improve cotton yield and fiber quality [ 112 ]. However, to meet the demands of the textile industry, instead of a single approach, scientists should use a combinational approach that combines all the possible technologies, such as gene over-expression, gene knockdown, and molecular breeding for crop improvement in a short time span [ 113 ].…”

Cotton crop is considered valuable for its fiber and seed oil. Cotton fiber is a single-celled outgrowth from the ovule epidermis, and it is a very dynamic cell for study. It has four distinct but overlapping developmental stages: initiation, elongation, secondary cell wall synthesis, and maturation. Among the various qualitative characteristics of cotton fiber, the important ones are the cotton fiber staple length, tensile strength, micronaire values, and fiber maturity. Actin dynamics are known to play an important role in fiber elongation and maturation. The current review gives an insight into the cotton fiber developmental stages, the qualitative traits associated with cotton fiber, and the set of genes involved in regulating these developmental stages and fiber traits. This review also highlights some prospects for how biotechnological approaches can improve cotton fiber quality.
