The jasmonic acid (JA) signalling pathway plays roles in plant development and defence
against biotic and abiotic stresses. We isolated a cotton NINJA (novel interactor of JA ZIM …

Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, is a major threat to cotton yield and quality.
While the WRKY gene family has been shown to be involved in plant defense against V …

Abstract Key message Overexpression of GhACL5, an ACAULIS5 from cotton, in
Arabidopsis increased plant height and T-Spm level. Silencing of GhACL5 in cotton …

Key message OsbHLH034 acts as a positive regulator in jasmonate signaling in rice.
Abstract Jasmonic acid (JA) is a plant hormone under strict regulation by various …

ABSTRACT DEK is associated with DNA replication and break repair, mRNA splicing, and
transcriptional regulation, which had been studied in humans and mammals. The function of …

To identify transcription factors (TFs) involved in jasmonate (JA) signaling and plant defense,
we screened 1,534 Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) TFs by real-time quantitative reverse …

Verticillium wilt disease caused by soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae (V. dahliae), is a
serious threats to cotton growth worldwide. Endogenous phytohormones, such as salicylic …

Heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) play a critical regulatory role in many plant disease
resistance pathways. However, the molecular mechanisms of cotton HSFs involved in …

Accumulating evidence indicates that plant cell wall-associated receptor-like kinases
(WAKs) involve in defense against pathogen attack, but their related signaling processes …

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