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 …

Background Under abiotic stress conditions, cotton growth is inhibited and yield losses are
severe. Identification of calnexin family members and function analysis under abiotic stress …

MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) family plays diverse roles in plant signal
transduction and response to abiotic stress. In this study, we isolated a novel MAPKKK gene …

To date, no ideal effective method for controlling Verticillium wilt in upland cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum) has been defined. The purpose of this study was to determine the …

Cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels (CNGCs) have been reported to be involved in
multiple plant physiological processes. Their involvement in plant immunity has been …

The glycosyltransferase (GT) 47 family is involved in the biosynthesis of xylose, pectin and
xyloglucan and plays a significant role in maintaining the normal morphology of the plant …

Nitrogen is a key macronutrient needed by plants to boost their production, but the
development of cotton genotypes through conventional approaches has hit a bottleneck due …

Cysteine-rich receptor-like kinases (CRKs) are a large subfamily of plant receptor-like
kinases that play a critical role in disease resistance in plants. However, knowledge about …

Cotton possesses certain physical features, including leaf and stem trichomes that help
plants deter damage caused by insect pests, and to some extent, from abiotic factors as well …

Membrane transporters encoded by NITRATE TRANSPORTER 1/PEPTIDE TRANSPORTER
(NPF) genes, which play crucial roles in plant growth, development and resistance to …
