This invention provides a method based on upland cotton GhMP This research relates to the field of
genetic engineering technology and describes a method for the coordinated regulation of cotton
fiber elongation and
Verticillium wilt resistance using genes, as well as transgenic cotton plants. The
gene encodes a
membrane protein, and experiments using overexpression and
RNA interference
transgenic lines have demonstrated its effectiveness. GhMP The expression level of this compound is positively correlated with
fiber development and
disease resistance: increased expression significantly increases
fiber length and improves resistance to
Verticillium wilt, while decreased expression leads to fiber shortening and weakened resistance. Further studies have shown that... GhMP Proteins are located on the
cell membrane and can interact with... GhPIP2.7 and GhTIP1.1 Aquaporins interact and jointly participate in the transmembrane transport of
hydrogen peroxide, forming a molecular complex that regulates
fiber elongation and
disease resistance. This invention provides a key
target gene that combines quality improvement and
disease resistance enhancement, offering a new strategy and
gene resource for multi-trait
molecular breeding of cotton, and has significant application value and promising prospects.
