An integrative defense mechanism mediated by GhBsr-d1L7 and GhERD10 confers resistance to Verticillium dahliae in cotton
Together, these findings reveal a novel C₂H₂ ZFP-chaperone module (GhBsr-d1L7-GhERD10) that integrates physiological and transcriptional defenses to bolster cotton immunity. This study deepens our understanding of plant-pathogen interactions and identifies promising molecular targets for developing disease-resistant cotton varieties.
