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 …

Accumulating evidence indicates that plant MYB transcription factors participate in defense
against pathogen attack, but their regulatory targets and related signaling processes remain …

Plants have developed intricate defense mechanisms in response to fluctuating
environmental cues, including the use of microRNA (miRNA) as post-transcriptional …

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 dahliae is an important fungal pathogen affecting cotton yield and quality.
Therefore, the mining of V. dahlia-resistance genes has important implications and is …

Plant auxin is essential in plant growth and development. However, the molecular
mechanisms of auxin involvement in plant immunity are unclear. Here, we addressed the …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play essential roles in plant defense responses, although such roles
have not been identified in cotton in response to the plant pathogenic fungus Verticillium …

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 …

Verticillium dahliae is a kind of pathogenic fungus that brings about wilt disease and great
losses in cotton. The molecular mechanism of the effectors in V. dahliae regulating cotton …

Many cotton miRNAs in root responding to Verticillium dahliae infection have been
identified. Conversely, the miRNAs in leaf distantly responding to this fungal infection from …
