The GhEB1C gene mediates resistance of cotton to Verticillium wilt.

The GhEB1C gene of the EB1 protein family functions as microtubule end-binding protein and may be involved in the regulation of microtubule-related pathways to enhance resistance to Verticillium wilt. The expression of GhEB1C is induced by SA, also contributing to Verticillium wilt resistance. Cotton, as a crucial cash and oil crop, faces a significant threat from Verticillium wilt, a soil-borne disease induced by Verticillium dahliae, severely impacting cotton growth and development.

Transcriptome Analysis and Identification of Genes Associated with Cotton Seed Size.

Cotton seeds, as the main by-product of cotton, are not only an important raw material for edible oil and feed but also a source of biofuel. The quality of cotton seeds directly affects cotton planting and is closely related to the yield and fiber quality.

The Drought Tolerance Function and Tanscriptional Regulation of in .

Drought stress significantly affects the growth, development, and yield of cotton, triggering the response of multiple genes. Among them, ascorbate peroxidase (APX) is one of the important antioxidant enzymes in the metabolism of reactive oxygen species in plants, and APX enhances the ability of plants to resist oxidation, thus increasing plant stress tolerance. Therefore, enhancing the activity of APX in cells is crucial to improving plant stress resistance.

DUSP is a key enzyme, and it is the enzyme that limits the rate of cell metabolism.

Functional Analysis of the Gene in Cotton Resistance to Verticillium Wilt.

Cotton is a critical crop with massive economic implications worldwide. Verticillium wilt is a soil-borne ailment caused by , which harms the growth and development of cotton. Therefore, investigating the genes associated with resistance to verticillium wilt is of particular significance.

Combined genome and transcriptome analysis of elite fiber quality in Gossypium barbadense.

Gossypium barbadense, which is one of several species of cotton, is well known for its superior fiber quality. However, the genetic basis of its high-quality fiber remains largely unexplored. Here, we resequenced 269 G.

Rapidly mining candidate cotton drought resistance genes based on key indicators of drought resistance.

Background: Focusing on key indicators of drought resistance is highly important for quickly mining candidate genes related to drought resistance in cotton.

Results: In the present study, drought resistance was identified in drought resistance-related RIL populations during the flowering and boll stages, and multiple traits were evaluated; these traits included three key indicators: plant height (PH), single boll weight (SBW) and transpiration rate (Tr). Based on these three key indicators, three groups of extreme mixing pools were constructed for BSA-seq.

Raffinose degradation-related gene was screened out responding to salinity stress through expression patterns of family genes.

A-galactosidases (AGALs), the oligosaccharide (RFO) catabolic genes of the raffinose family, play crucial roles in plant growth and development and in adversity stress. They can break down the non-reducing terminal galactose residues of glycolipids and sugar chains. In this study, the whole genome of AGALs was analyzed.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is associated with drought resistance in .

Background: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is the central enzyme of glycolysis and plays important regulatory roles in plant growth and development and responses to adverse stress conditions. However, studies on the characteristics and functions of cotton GAPDH family genes are still lacking.

QTL Verification and Candidate Gene Screening of Fiber Quality and Lint Percentage in the Secondary Segregating Population of .

Fiber quality traits, especially fiber strength, length, and micronaire (FS, FL, and FM), have been recognized as critical fiber attributes in the textile industry, while the lint percentage (LP) was an important indicator to evaluate the cotton lint yield. So far, the genetic mechanism behind the formation of these traits is still unclear. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) identification and candidate gene validation provide an effective methodology to uncover the genetic and molecular basis of FL, FS, FM, and LP.
