Verticillium wilt is a soil-borne disease that can cause devastating losses in cotton
production. Because there is no effective chemical means to combat the disease, the only …

As structural and signaling platform in plant cell, the actin cytoskeleton is regulated by
diverse actin binding proteins (ABPs). Villins are one type of major ABPs responsible for …

Verticillium wilt is a devastating disease of cotton, which is caused by the soil-borne fungus
Verticillium dahliae (V. dahliae). Although previous studies have identified some genes or …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fibers are single-cell trichomes that arise from the outer epidermal
layer of seed coat. Here, we isolated a R3-MYB gene GhCPC, identified by cDNA microarray …
