Transcriptome Analysis of a Cotton Cultivar Provides Insights into the Differentially Expressed Genes Underlying Heightened Resistance to the Devastating Verticillium Wilt

Cotton is an important economic crop worldwide. Verticillium wilt (VW) caused by <i>Verticillium dahliae</i> (<i>V. dahliae</i>) is a serious disease in cotton, resulting in massive yield losses and decline of fiber quality. Breeding resistant cotton cultivars is an efficient...
