Verticillium wilt is threatening the world's cotton production. The pathogenic fungus
Verticillium dahliae can survive in the soil in the form of microsclerotia for a long time …

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MPKs) are important in regulating plant development and
stress response. Rapid activation of MPKs in plants usually depends on its phosphorylated …

WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in the regulation of biotic and abiotic
stresses. However, the functions of most WRKY TFs in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) …

Verticillium wilt, mainly caused by a soil-inhabiting fungus Verticillium dahliae, can seriously
reduce the yield and quality of cotton. The complex mechanism underlying cotton resistance …

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a class of recently discovered non-coding RNAs, play a role in
biological and developmental processes. A recent study showed that circRNAs exist in …

Verticillium wilt caused by the soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae is a common,

Verticillium wilt is a kind of plant vascular disease caused by the soilborne fungus
Verticillium dahliae, which severely limits cotton production. Our previous studies showed …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of endogenous small non-coding RNAs that play
important roles in plant growth, development, and stress response processes. Verticillium …

TIFY proteins are plant-specific proteins containing TIFY, JAZ, PPD and ZML subfamilies. A
total of 50, 54 and 28 members of the TIFY gene family in three cultivated cotton species …

Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, is one of the most damaging and widespread
