Identifying important regulative elements and pathways related to dwarfism in cotton is a major challenge in cotton breeding. An isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based proteomics of the stem terminal buds from the upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) dwarf line LA-1 and high near-isogenic line LH-1 was performed. Moreover, the transcriptional expression of differentially-expressed proteins (DEPs) belonging to the phytohormone signal transduction, hormone biosynthesis, and ubiquitin system were analysed using the qua...
