Abstract excerpt
Lignin, a critical component of the secondary cell wall, enhances plant defense and plays a significant role in immunity. Although expression profiling has identified numerous genes involved in lignin biosynthesis and regulation in cotton, key genetic loci and regulatory factors controlling lignin synthesis remain poorly characterized. In this study, a genome wide association study (GWAS) was conducted on 290...
