Plant lignin is a component of the cell wall, and plays important roles in the transport
potential of water and mineral nutrition and plant defence against biotic stresses. Therefore …

Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, seriously limits cotton production. It is difficult
to control this pathogen damage mainly due to the complexity of the molecular mechanism …

The soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae causes Verticillium wilt (VW), one of the most
devastating diseases of cotton. In a previous study showed that GhOPR9 played a positive …

An ethylene response-related factor, GbERF1-like, from Gossypium barbadense
cv.'7124'involved in the defence response to Verticillium dahliae was characterized …

Lignins and their antimicrobial‐related polymers cooperatively enhance plant resistance to
pathogens. Several isoforms of 4‐coumarate‐coenzyme A ligases (4CLs) have been …

Germin-like proteins (GLPs) are a diverse and ubiquitous family of plant glycoproteins
belonging to the cupin super family; they play considerable roles in plant responses against …

The cell wall is the major interface for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis. However, the
roles of cell wall proteins and cell wall synthesis in AM symbiosis remain unclear. We …

Background Verticillium wilt, caused by the soil borne fungus Verticillium dahliae, is a major
threat to cotton production worldwide. An increasing number of findings indicate that WAK …

Abstract Background Lysin motif (LysM)-containing proteins are important pattern
recognition receptors (PRRs) in plants, which function in the perception of microbe …

Verticillium wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae is a destructive cotton disease causing severe
yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors play important roles in plant …
