Enhanced cotton susceptibility to V. dahliae due to GhCDKE silencing. Expression profile of the GhCDKE gene in cotton after inoculation with V. dahliae (A) and treatment with MeJA (B). Total RNA was extracted from 14-days-old cotton plants at the indicated times after treatment. Data are presented as mean ± SD of three biological replicates. p < 0.05 and ∗∗p < 0.01 compared to 0 h by one-way ANOVA followed by LSD test. (C) Disease symptoms of wild-type and GhCDKE-silenced cotton inoculated with V. dahliae. The top panel shows stem symptoms. The bottom panel shows the leaf symptoms (left, wild-type; right, GhCDKE-silenced plants), and the rectangles mark the inoculation sites (left, inoculation with V. dahliae; right, inoculation with water as control). Bar = 3 mm.
