Background Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, is called a “cancer” disease of
cotton. The discovery and identification of defense-related genes is essential for the …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is an economically important crop, but its productivity is often
hindered by the soil‐borne pathogen Verticillium dahliae. This study aimed to investigate the …

Leucine-rich-repeat receptor-like proteins (eLRR-RLPs) play significant roles in plant
defense against pathogens and in plant development. Several eLRR-RLP genes such as …

Verticillium wilt is a soil-borne disease that can cause devastating losses in cotton
production. Because there is no effective chemical means to combat the disease, the only …

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 …

Cotton is an important cash crop worldwide, and is a significant source of fiber, feed,
foodstuff, oil and biofuel products. Considerable effort has been expended to increase …

Verticillium wilt caused by soilborne fungus Verticillium dahliae could significantly reduce
cotton yield. Here, we cloned a tomato Ve homologous gene, Gbve1, from an island cotton …

Verticillium wilt of cotton is a very serious soil-borne disease and there is no effective control
method. The mechanism of Gossypium hirsutum thaumatin-like protein 1 (GhTLP1) in …

Improving genetic resistance is a preferred method to manage Verticillium wilt of cotton and
other hosts. Identifying host resistance is difficult because of the dearth of resistance genes …

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is constantly attacked by pathogens and insects. The most
efficient control strategy is to develop resistant varieties using broad‐spectrum gene …
