Drought and high salinity are key limiting factors for cotton production. Therefore, research is
increasingly focused on the underlying stress response mechanisms of cotton. We first …

Background The cotton crop is universally considered as protein and edible oil source
besides the major contributor of natural fiber and is grown in tropical and subtropical regions …

Elevated salinity significantly threatens cotton growth, particularly during the germination
and seedling stages. The utilization of primitive species of Gossypium hirsutum, specifically …

Gossypium arboreum possesses many favorable traits including robust defense against
biotic and abiotic stress although it has been withdrawn from the market because of lower …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important world-wide fiber crop
but salt stress limits cotton production in coastal and other areas. Growth regulation factors …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKK) mediate a variety of stress responses in
plants. So far little is known on the functional role of MAPKKs in cotton. In the present study …

Soil salinization, which is primarily due to excessive Na+ levels, is a major abiotic stress
adversely affecting plant growth and development. The Na+/H+ antiporter (NHX) is a …

Cotton is one of the most important cash crops in the world. Most of its production areas are
in arid or semiarid regions, and drought and salinity seriously affect cotton production. Plant …

The K+ efflux antiporter (KEA) mediates intracellular K+ and H+ homeostasis to improve salt
tolerance in plants. However, the knowledge of KEA gene family in cotton is largely absent …

High salinity is one of the main factors limiting cotton growth and productivity. The genes that
regulate salt stress in TM-1 upland cotton were monitored using microarray and real-time …
