Effect of different HSP inhibitors on in-vitro ovule culture at different stages of cotton fiber development. (A) Photographs of in-vitro cultured ovules in initiation, elongation and SCW stage showing the effect of Pif (HSP70) and Nov (HSP90) inhibitors. (B) SEM of control and treated ovules at 1 DPA shows clear decline in fiber growth. (C) Quantitative estimation of fiber growth in initiation, elongation and SCW stage at different concentration of Pif and Nov inhibitors (X-axis and Y-axis designates O.D. and concentration of inhibitors, respectively). The asterisks represent statistical significance between three biological and three technical replicates (*p-value ≤ 0.05, **p-value ≤ 0.01).
