Journal ArticleDOI
CottonFGD: an integrated functional genomics database for cotton
TL;DR: CottonFGD (Cotton Functional Genomic Database), an integrated database that includes genomic sequences, gene structural and functional annotations, genetic marker data, transcriptome data, and population genome resequencing data for all four of the sequenced Gossypium species, is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
GhABF2, a bZIP transcription factor, confers drought and salinity tolerance in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.).

TL;DR: In this paper, the cloning and characterization of GhABF2, encoding for typical cotton bZIP TF, was reported, which significantly improved drought and salt stress tolerance both in Arabidopsis and cotton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased lateral root formation by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing of arginase genes in cotton
Wang Yanling,Zhigang Meng,Chengzhen Liang,Zhaohong Meng,Yuan Wang,Guoqing Sun,Tao Zhu,Cai Yongping,Sandui Guo,Rui Zhang,Lin Yi +10 more
TL;DR: Improvement of lateral root formation could increase total root surface areas, potentially promoting growth of the whole cotton plant, and ultimately increasing fiber yields, especially under adverse conditions of drought and low soil fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of ABA Receptors Gene GhPYL9-11A Is Positively Correlated with Cotton Drought Tolerance in Transgenic Arabidopsis.
Chengzhen Liang,Liu Yan,Yanyan Li,Zhigang Meng,Rong Yan,Tao Zhu,Yuan Wang,Shujing Kang,Muhammad Abid,Waqas Malik,Guoqing Sun,Sandui Guo,Rui Zhang +12 more
TL;DR: The identification and characterization of highly induced ABA receptor GhPYL9-11A is reported, which could be a useful strategy for developing drought-tolerant cotton cultivars and the increased in root growth and up regulation of drought stress-related genes in transgenic Arabidopsis as compared to wild type confirmed the potential role of GhPyl9- 11A in abiotic stress tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Co‐expression of GR79 EPSPS and GAT yields herbicide‐resistant cotton with low glyphosate residues
Chengzhen Liang,Sun Bao,Zhigang Meng,Zhaohong Meng,Yuan Wang,Guoqing Sun,Tao Zhu,Wei Lu,Wei Zhang,Waqas Malik,Min Lin,Rui Zhang,Sandui Guo +12 more
TL;DR: The co‐expression of codon‐optimized forms of GR79 EPSPS and N‐acetyltransferase (GAT) genes in cotton offers attractive promise for the engineering and breeding of highly resistant low‐glyphosate‐residue cotton varieties.
