Summary Cotton fibre is a unicellular seed trichome, and lint fibre initials per seed as a factor determines fibre yield. However, the mechanisms controlling fibre initiation from ovule epidermis are not understood well enough. Here, with single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq), a total of 14 535 cel...
