Verticillium wilt, caused by the Verticillium dahliae phytopathogen, is a devastating disease
affecting many economically important crops. A receptor-like protein (RLP) gene, Ve1, has …

Stress-associated proteins (SAPs) are A20 and AN1 domain–containing proteins, some of
which play important roles in plant stress signaling. Here, we report the involvement of …

Background Verticillium wilt of cotton is a serious soil-borne disease that causes a
substantial reduction in cotton yields. A previous study showed that the endophytic fungus …

Plants have evolved a two‐branched innate immune system to detect and cope with
pathogen attack, which are initiated by cell‐surface and intracellular immune receptors …

The biocontrol bacterium Paenibacillus alvei K165 has the ability to protect Arabidopsis
thaliana against Verticillium dahliae. A direct antagonistic action of strain K165 against V …

Plasma membrane represents a critical battleground between plants and attacking
microbes. Necrosis‐and‐ethylene‐inducing peptide 1 (Nep1)‐like proteins (NLPs), cytolytic …

Fungal transcription factors (TFs) implicated in the regulation of virulence gene expression
have been identified in a number of plant pathogens. In Verticillium dahliae, despite its …

The apoplast serves as the first battlefield between the plant hosts and invading microbes;
therefore, work on plant-pathogen interactions has increasingly focused on apoplastic …

The lignin biosynthesis pathway plays a crucial role in the defense response against V.
dahliae in cotton, and it is essential to identify the key regulators in this pathway for disease …

Verticillium wilt (VW) caused by Verticillium dahliae is a devastating soil-borne disease that
causes severe yield losses in cotton and other major crops worldwide. Here we conducted a …
