Verbatim
e0“The experimental results indicated that the gene-silenced cotton displayed decreased tolerance to drought stress”
e1“Malondialdehyde (MDA) content was higher, but proline accumulation, relative leaf water content and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) were lower in the gene-silenced cotton, compared with those in the controls, under drought stress”

- Observation 157 nonredundant GhMAPKKKs were identified in cotton.
- Observation 87 GhMAPKKKs belong to the RAF subfamily in cotton.
- Observation 46 GhMAPKKKs belong to the MEKK subfamily in cotton.
- Observation 24 GhMAPKKKs belong to the ZIK subfamily in cotton.
- Observation GhMAPKKK genes are unevenly distributed on 26 chromosomes in cotton.
- Observation Segmental duplication is the major route to enlargement of the cotton MAPKKK family.
