The 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductases (OPRs) have been proven to play a major role in
plant development and growth. Although the classification and functions of OPRs have been …

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 …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is an important cash crop producing both fiber and
oilseed, the yield and quality of which are severely affected by Verticillium wilt primarily …

Verticillium wilt, primarily induced by the soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae, is a serious
threat to cotton fiber production. There are a large number of really interesting new gene …

Key message GhMYB4 acts as a negative regulator in lignin biosynthesis, which results in
alteration of cell wall integrity and activation of cotton defense response. Abstract Verticillium …

Verticillium wilt will seriously affect cotton yield and fiber quality. BEL1-Like transcription
factors are involved in the regulation of secondary cell wall (SCW) formation, especially the …

Improving plant resistance to Verticillium wilt (VW), which causes massive losses in
Gossypium hirsutum, is a global challenge. Crop needs to efficiently allocate their limited …

Background The WRKY transcription factors play significant roles in plant growth,
development, and defense responses. However, in cotton, the molecular mechanism of most …

Verticillium dahliae is a soil-borne fungus that causes vascular wilt through the roots of
plants. Verticillium wilt caused by V. dahliae is one of the main diseases in cotton producing …
