Fiber length in transgenic lines and the control. a and c is the photo and fiber length data from cotton ovule culture in vitro, respectively. The photo was taken before combing and showed the original shape of fiber (with ovule) after culture. b and d is the photo and fiber length data of mature fiber from plant, respectively. The photo was taken after combing. a The fibers (with ovules) of the control and transgenic lines after 10-day culture. b Mature and dried fibers (combed by hand before photographing) from the control plant and transgenic plant OS-6. c Fiber lengths of control and transgenic cotton lines after 10-day culture; error bars represent the SD for at least 15 seeds. d Lengths of mature fiber from control and transgenic lines. OS-6 and OS-9: transgenic lines 6 and 9 overexpressing GhSMT2–1. Error bars represent SD for at least 20 seeds. Statistically significant differences based on paired Student’s t-test at P < 0.01 are denoted by double asterisks
