Cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels (CNGCs) remain poorly studied in crop plants, most of
which are polyploid. In allotetraploid Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), silencing …

Verticillium wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae results in severe losses in cotton, and is
economically the most destructive disease of this crop. Improving genetic resistance is the …

In the plant response to pathogen infection, many genes' expression is temporally induced,
while few spatially induced expression genes have been reported. Here, we show that …

The tomato Ve1 gene and several Ve1 homologues are involved in the resistance to
Verticillium dahliae. Here, we report on another Ve homologous gene, Gbvdr3, from a …

Key message A U-box E3 ubiquitin ligase GhPUB17 is inhibited by GhCyP3 with antifungal
activity and acts as a negative regulator involved in cotton resistance to Verticillium dahliae …

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 …

Verticillium wilt is a major limiting factor for sustainable production of cotton but the
mechanism of controlling this disease is still poorly understood. Lipoxygenase (LOX) …

Abstract Background Cotton Verticillium wilt is one of the most devastating diseases for
cotton production in the world. Although this diseases have been widely studied at 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 …

The lignin biosynthesis pathway plays a crucial role in the defense response against V.
dahliae in cotton, and it is essential to identify the key regulators in this pathway for disease …
