Proteomic and virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) Analyses reveal that gossypol, brassinosteroids, and jasmonic acid contribute to the resistance of cotton to Verticillium dahliae.

Verticillium wilt causes massive annual losses of cotton yield, but the mechanism of cotton resistance to Verticillium dahliae is complex and poorly understood. In this study, a comparative proteomic analysis was performed in resistant cotton (Gossypium barbadense cv7124) on infection with V. dahliae.

Genes expression analyses of sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) during fiber development.

Sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) is one of the most valuable cotton species due to its silkiness, luster, long staples, and high strength, but its fiber development mechanism has not been surveyed comprehensively. We constructed a normalized fiber cDNA library (from -2 to 25 dpa) of G.

[Spontaneous and induced programmed cell death in suspension cell cultures of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)].

Cotton suspension cells grew well in the MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L 2,4 D and 0.1 mg/L KT.

[Construction and analysis of SSH library of Gossypium barbadense upon infection with Verticillium dahliae].

Roots were collected from the seedlings inoculated with pathogen Verticillium dahliae after 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours for total RNA extraction. The cDNAs from the inoculated seedlings were used as the tester and those from the control seedlings as the driver. SSH method was employed to find the differently expressed cDNAs responding to the pathogen.
