Plants produce an exceptional multitude of chemicals to compensate with challenging
environments. Despite the structural pluralism of specialized metabolism, often defensive …

With the rapid advances in next-generation sequencing technology, numerous non-protein-
coding transcripts have been identified, including long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which …

Drought significantly impacts cotton square (flower buds with bracts) shedding, directly
affecting yield. To address the internal physiological mechanisms of drought affecting cotton …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an RNA-mediated reverse genetics technique that
has become an effective tool to investigate gene function in plants. Cotton is one of the most …

Salinity is a common abiotic stress that limits crop productivity. Although there is a wealth of
evidence suggesting that miRNA and lncRNA play important roles in the response to salinity …

Past studies have demonstrated that exposure to drought significantly impacts cotton
squares abscission, thereby directly affecting yield. However, investigations into the internal …
