Identification and characterization of DEGs between NI-treated and WD-treated cotton fibers. Twelve genes were differentially expressed at ≥5 time points, including ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase), MIOX (myo-inositol oxygenase), TK (thymidine kinase), PS (phosphate starvation-induced gene), PIP (plasmamembrane intrinsic protein), PAP (purple acid phosphatase), SPX (SYG1-Pho81-XPR1 domain-containing protein), NAM (no apical meristem), NCED (9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase), UMAMIT (usually multiple acids move in and out transporter) and PEPC (phosphoethanolamine/phosphocholine phosphatase)
