Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades play a crucial role in plant growth and development as well as biotic and abiotic stress responses. Knowledge about the MAPK gene family in cotton is limited, and systematic investigation of MAPK family proteins has not been reported. RESULTS: By performing a bioinformatics homology search, we identified 28 putative MAPK genes in the Gossypium raimondii...
