Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation GhWAT genes are predominantly expressed in cotton roots, internodes and hypocotyls.
- Intervention effect Infection with V. dahliae induces cotton GhWAT expression.
- Intervention effect Indole-3-acetic acid treatment induces cotton GhWAT expression.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid treatment induces cotton GhWAT expression.
- Intervention effect Silencing any single GhWAT gene gives cotton a phenotype and resistance level comparable to control plants.
- Intervention effect Simultaneous silencing of three GhWATs inhibits cotton plant growth.
- Intervention effect In GhWAT123-silenced cotton, SA-related gene expression is significantly upregulated compared with the control.
- Intervention effect In GhWAT123-silenced cotton, SA level increases compared with the control.
- Intervention effect In GhWAT123-silenced cotton, xylem development is inhibited compared with the control.
- Intervention effect In GhWAT123-silenced cotton, lignin deposition in the xylem increases compared with the control.
- Intervention effect In GhWAT123-silenced cotton, lignin synthesis and lignification gene expression levels are higher.
