Transcriptome Analysis of a Cotton Cultivar Provides Insights into the Differentially Expressed Genes Underlying Heightened Resistance to the Devastating Verticillium Wilt.

Abstract excerpt

Cotton is an important economic crop worldwide. Verticillium wilt (VW) caused by Verticillium dahliae (V. dahliae) is a serious disease in cotton, resulting in massive yield losses and decline of fiber quality. Breeding resistant cotton cultivars is an efficient but elaborate method to improve the resistance of cotton against V. dahliae infection. However, the functional mechanism of several excellent VW...
