Cotton is widely grown in many countries around the world due to the huge economic value
of the total natural fiber. Verticillium wilt, caused by the soil-borne pathogen Verticillium …

The plant cell wall is an interface of plant–microbe interactions. The ability of microbes to
decompose cell wall polysaccharides contributes to microbial pathogenicity. Plants have …

Drought and Verticillium wilt disease are two main factors that limit cotton production, which
necessitates the identification of key molecular switch to simultaneously improve cotton …

In plants, MYB transcription factors play diverse roles in growth, development, and response
to abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the signaling processes of these transcription factors …

With the requirement to breed more productive crop plants in order to feed a growing global
population, compounded by increasingly widespread resistance to pesticides exhibited by …

In environmental conditions, crop plants are extremely affected by multiple abiotic stresses
including salinity, drought, heat, and cold, as well as several biotic stresses such as pests …

Protein lysine acetylation is an important post‐translational modification mechanism
involved in cellular regulation in eukaryotes. Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous Ca2+ sensor …

The soil-borne pathogen Verticillium dahliae, also referred as “The Cotton Cancer,” is
responsible for causing Verticillium wilt in cotton crops, a destructive disease with a global …

Background The extracellular space between the cell wall and plasma membrane is a
battlefield in plant-pathogen interactions. Within this space, the pathogen employs its …

The integrity of the cell wall is important for plant cells. Mechanical or chemical distortions,
tension, pH changes in the apoplast, disturbance of the ion homeostasis, leakage of cell …
