The soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae causes Verticillium wilt (VW), one of the most
devastating diseases of cotton. In a previous study showed that GhOPR9 played a positive …

Germin-like proteins (GLPs) are a diverse and ubiquitous family of plant glycoproteins
belonging to the cupin super family; they play considerable roles in plant responses against …

Plants have developed intricate defense mechanisms in response to fluctuating
environmental cues, including the use of microRNA (miRNA) as post-transcriptional …

Patatin-like proteins (PLPs) have non-specific lipid acyl hydrolysis (LAH) activity, which can
hydrolyze membrane lipids into fatty acids and lysophospholipids. The vital role of PLPs in …

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 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 …

Cotton is one of the most important economic crops and is cultivated globally. Verticillium
wilt, caused by the soil-borne hemibiotrophic fungus Verticillium dahliae, is the most …

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 …

Many changes in development, growth, hormone activity and environmental stimuli
responses are mediated by mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. However, in …

Sessile growing plants are always vulnerable to microbial pathogen attacks throughout their
lives. To fend off pathogen invasion, plants have evolved a sophisticated innate immune …
