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 …

Verticillium wilt is a vascular disease causing tremendous damage to cotton production
worldwide. However, our knowledge of the mechanisms of cotton resistance or susceptibility …

Introduction Sessile plants engage in trade-offs between growth and defense capacity in
response to fluctuating environmental cues. MYB is an important transcription factor that …

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 the soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae, is one of the most
devastating diseases in cotton (Gossypium spp.). Lignin in the cell wall forms a physical …

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

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

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 …

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 …
