Figure 3. Hcm1 transgenic lines improved resistance to Verticillium wilt.

Figure 3

(a) The DIs of the transgenic and parent W0 cotton plants induced by defoliating V. dahliae strain V991 and non-defoliating V. dahliae strain BP2 in greenhouse conditions. H159, H177, and H213 were the transgenic lines. Junmian 1 and Hai7124 were used as susceptible and resistant controls. At least 45 plants were used for each experiment. Average values and standard errors were calculated from four independent experiments. (b) Resistance phenotype of the independent transgenic cotton line H213 in Henan province, China in 2014. (c,d) The DIs and mortality rates of Hcm1-transformed and parent W0 plants in a field with a history of a high incidence of Verticillium wilt. The transgenic lines, parent W0, and the resistance variety G. barbadense cv. Hai7124 were grown at a farm in Henan and Xinjiang province, China in the 2014 cotton-growing season. At least 15 plants were used for each experiment. Average values and standard errors were calculated from four independent experiments. The letters in (a,c,d) indicate significant differences at P ≤ 0.01 according to a randomization one-way ANOVA test.
