Ethyl acetate extract of Artemisia argyi improves the resistance of cotton to Verticillium dahliae by activating the immune response.

Verticillium wilt, a significant pathogen affecting cotton, has historically been challenging to control, posing a substantial threat to the sustainable development of the cotton industry. This study demonstrates that resistance to Verticillium dahliae in cotton can be enhanced by treating the roots with an ethyl acetate extract (EAAA) extracted from Artemisia argyi. The mechanisms by which EAAA activates immunity in cotton were elucidated by examining the expression levels of resistance genes post-treatment, evaluating salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) levels, analyzing transcriptome data, and employing virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technology.
