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

Patatin-like proteins (PLPs) have non-specific lipid acyl hydrolysis (LAH) activity, which can
hydrolyze membrane lipids into fatty acids and lysophospholipids. The vital role of PLPs in …

Verticillium dahliae is a phytopathogenic fungal pathogen that causes vascular wilt diseases
responsible for considerable decreases in cotton yields. The lignification of cell wall …

The 4-coumarate: coenzyme A ligase (4CL) is a key enzyme that contributes to channeling
metabolic flux in the cinnamate/monolignol pathway, leading to the production of …

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 …

Cotton is one of the most important economic crops and is cultivated globally. Verticillium
wilt, caused by the soil-borne hemibiotrophic fungus Verticillium dahliae, is the most …

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 …

In plants, MYB transcription factors play diverse roles in growth, development, and response
to abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the signaling processes of these transcription factors …

Lignin is a main component of the secondary cell wall in vessels and fibers of xylem tissue.
However, the significance of lignin in cell physiology during plant growth is unclear. In this …

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