Application of cotton GhD05G2577 gene in breeding for increasing plant germination rate, biomass, seed size and thousand seed weight
By overexpressing the Gh_D05G2577 gene in cotton, the germination rate and biomass of the plant were regulated, which solved the problems of low germination and yield of cotton in harsh environments. Significant increases in germination rate and biomass, seed size and thousand-seed weight were achieved, thus enhancing the plant's stress resistance and yield.

AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are insufficient to effectively improve cotton germination rate, biomass, seed size, and thousand-seed weight, especially in harsh environments such as drought and salinity, which affect early germination and yield of cotton.
By overexpressing the cotton Gh_D05G2577 gene, the transcription factor Gh_D05G2577 was used to regulate the germination rate, biomass, and seed size of plants. A recombinant vector was constructed and transformed into plants, and transgenic plants with high expression were screened out.
It significantly improved the germination rate, biomass, seed size, and thousand-seed weight of plants, enhanced their stress resistance and yield, provided genetic resources and technical support, and laid the foundation for breeding new varieties with high yield and strong stress resistance.
