Researchers found that the protein GhTLP1 boosts cotton plants' resistance to Verticillium wilt. Overexpression of GhTLP1 in other plants also increased resistance. GhTLP1 interacts with GhLAC14 to enhance resistance, making it a potential target for improving cotton's resistance to the disease.
Researchers discovered that a lncRNA called TRABA suppresses the expression of GhBGLU24-A, a gene responsible for salt stress response in cotton. GhBGLU24-A mediates ER stress through the ERAD pathway, affecting plant tolerance to salt stress. Understanding these mechanisms could aid in developing more resilient crops.
The study found that the protein GhBCD11 in cotton helps degrade oxalic acid produced by the fungus V. dahliae, which causes cotton leaf wilting. GhBCD11 interacts with GhRPL12-3, a ribosomal protein. This is important for improving cotton's resistance to V. dahliae.
