Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: Gh4CL3
  • Gene Name: Cotton 4-coumarate-CoA ligase 3
  • Genome: TM1_NBI
  • Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

  • Cotton 4-coumarate-CoA ligase 3 (Gh4CL3) enhanced plant resistance to Verticillium dahliae by promoting jasmonic acid signaling-mediated vascular lignification and metabolic flux.
  • These changes were coupled with a significant reduction in 4CL activity toward p-coumaric acid substrate, and it is likely that recombinant Gh4CL3 could specifically catalyze p-coumaric acid to form p-coumaroyl-coenzyme A.
  • Overexpression of Gh4CL3 (OE4CL) showed increasing 4CL activity that augmented phenolic precursors, cinnamic, p-coumaric, and sinapic acids, channeling into lignin and flavonoid biosyntheses and enhanced resistance to V. dahliae.
  • Our results propose that Gh4CL3 acts as a positive regulator for cotton resistance against V. dahliae by promoting JA signaling-mediated enhanced cell wall rigidity and metabolic flux.
