Gene Details:

• Gene ID: CotAD_32778
• Gene Symbol: GhMYC2
• Gene Name:
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• A novel mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade composed of GhMKK2, GhNTF6 and GhMYC2 was identified.
• The GhMYC2-mediated expression of several flavonoid biosynthesis-related genes, which led to flavonoid accumulation.
• The expression of flavonoid biosynthesis-related genes was significantly reduced in GhMYC2-silenced cotton after Fov infection but increased in GhMYC2-overexpressing cotton protoplasts.
• The functional analysis indicated that group IIc WRKY TFs induced the GhMKK2-GhNTF6 pathway to increase resistance to Fov by upregulating the GhMYC2-mediated expression of several flavonoid biosynthesis-related genes, which led to flavonoid accumulation.
