Identification of EXPA4 as a key gene in cotton salt stress adaptation through transcriptomic and coexpression network analysis of root tip protoplasts
These findings underscore the functional significance of GaEXPA4 in the salt stress response. Future research should focus on elucidating the precise mechanisms of putative salt tolerance genes like GaEXPA4 and evaluating the potential of signaling pathways, such as MAPK, for engineering enhanced salt resilience in cotton. Integrating multi-omics approaches could further expand the genetic resources available for improving cotton cultivation in saline environments.
