摘要:
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) as one of the most important economic crop in the world is often suffering from biotic and abiotic stresses during its growth seasons. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades participate in signal transduction of extracellular stimuli and regulate multiple biotic and abiotic stress responses in plants. In this study, a MAPK gene (GhMPK4) belonging to the group B of MAPK family was identified in cotton. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that expression of GhMPK4 was induced by high salinity and osmotic stresses. Overexpression of GhMPK4 in Arabidopsis sign...
