Cotton Gene GhEG45 Boosts Resistance Against Devastating Verticillium Wilt
Researchers from China Agricultural University have identified the cotton gene GhEG45 as a key player in defending plants against Verticillium dahliae, a major cause of cotton wilt. The study reveals how GhEG45 strengthens salicylic acid signaling and reactive oxygen species regulation, paving the way for developing disease-resistant cotton varieties.
