Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Gh_D06G0810
• Gene Symbol: GhJAZ2
• Gene Name: jasmonate2
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• GhJAZ2 attenuates cotton resistance to biotic stresses via the inhibition of the transcriptional activity of GhbHLH171.
• Characterized a JAZ family protein, GhJAZ2, from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) which was induced by methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and inoculation of Verticillium dahliae.
• The overexpression of GhJAZ2 in cotton impairs the sensitivity to JA, decreases the expression level of JA-response genes (GhPDF1.2 and GhVSP) and enhances the susceptibility to V. dahliae and insect herbivory.
• Molecular and genetic evidence shows that GhJAZ2 can interact with GhbHLH171 and inhibit its transcriptional activity and, as a result, can restrain the JA-mediated defence response.
• GhJAZ2 reduces methyl jasmonate (MeJA)-induced anthocyanin accumulation and the expression of jasmonate (JA)-responsive defence marker genes in cotton.
