Abstract:Cotton fibers are single‐celled trichomes that initiate from the epidermal cells of the ovules at or before anthesis. Here, we identified that the histone deacetylase (HDAC ) activity is essential for proper cotton fiber initiation. We further identified 15 HDAC s homoeologs in each of the A‐ and D‐subgenomes of Gossypium hirsutum . Few of these HDAC homoeologs expressed preferentially during the early stages of fiber development [?1, 0 and 6 days post‐anthesis (DPA )]. Among them, GhHDA 5 expressed significantly at the time of fiber initiation (?1 and 0 DPA). The in vitro assay for HDAC activity indicated that GhHDA 5 primarily deacetylates H3K9 acetylation marks. Moreover, the reduced expression of GhHDA 5 also suppresses fiber initiation and lint yield in the RNA interference (RNA i) lines. The 0 DPA ovules of GhHDA 5 RNA i lines also showed alterations in reactive oxygen species homeostasis and elevated autophagic cell death in the developing fibers. The differentially expressed genes (DEG s) identified through RNA ‐seq of RNA i line (DEP 12) and their pathway analysis showed that GhHDA 5 modulates expression of many stress and development‐related genes involved in fiber development. The reduced expression of GhHDA 5 in the RNA i lines also resulted in H3K9 hyper‐acetylation on the promoter region of few DEG s assessed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. The positively co‐expressed genes with GhHDA 5 showed cumulative higher expression during fiber initiation, and gene ontology annotation suggests their involvement in fiber development. Furthermore, the predicted protein interaction network in the positively co‐expressed genes indicates HDA 5 modulates fiber initiation‐specific gene expression through a complex involving reported repressors.
