Article Abstract
Background: Upland cotton wild/landraces represent a valuable resource for disease resistance alleles. Genetic differentiation between genotypes, as well as variation in Verticillium wilt (VW) resistance, has been poorly characterized for upland cotton accessions on the domestication spectrum (from wild/landraces to elite lines).
Results: To illustrate the effects of modern breeding on VW resistance in upland cotton, 37 wild/landraces were resequenced and phenotyped for VW resistance. Genomic patterns of differentiation were identified between wild/landraces and improved upland cotton, and a significant decline in VW resistance was observed in association with improvement. Four genotypes representing different degrees of improvement were used in a full-length transcriptome analysis to study the genetic basis of VW resistance. ROS signaling was highly conserved at the transcriptional level, likely providing the basis for VW resistance in upland cotton. ASN biosynthesis and HSP90-mediated resistance moderated the response to VW in wild/landraces, and loss of induction activity of these genes resulted in VW susceptibility. The observed genomic differentiation contributed to the loss of induction of some important VW resistance genes such as HSP90.4 and PR16.
Conclusions: Besides providing new insights into the evolution of upland cotton VW resistance, this study also identifies important resistance pathways and genes for both fundamental research and cotton breeding.

In this study, a comprehensive genome-wide identification and analysis of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) gene family was performed to explore the role of Gossypium hirsutumAKR40 under salt stress in cotton. A total of 249 AKR genes were identified with uneven distribution on the chromosomes in four cotton species. The diversity and evolutionary relationship of the cotton AKR gene family was identified using physio-chemical analysis, phylogenetic tree construction, conserved motif analysis, chromosomal localization, prediction of cis-acting elements, and calculation of evolutionary selection pressure under 300 mM NaCl stress.

SPX () family genes play a pivotal role in phosphorus signaling, phosphorus uptake, and phosphorus translocation in plants. However, to date, the SPX family genes have not been systematically investigated in cotton. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide analysis and identified 44 SPX family genes in , classifying them into four subfamilies (SPX, SPX-MFS, SPX-EXS, and SPX-RING) based on conserved domains.

Background: Escalating global temperatures pose an ongoing threat to cotton production by disrupting essential morphological, physiological, and metabolic processes during early plant development. These early stages are critical for crop establishment, yet the genetic basis of heat tolerance at this phase remains insufficiently characterized. Therefore, advancing our understanding of early-stage responses is essential for the development of heat-tolerant genotypes.
