Genome-Wide Characterization of the ZIP Transporter Family in Sea Island Cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) and Expression Profiling Under Heavy Metal and Pathogen Stresses
Transcriptional analysis demonstrated that several key GbZIP members dynamically respond to cadmium exposure, fungal infection, and their combined occurrence, highlighting crucial candidate genes for molecular breeding aimed at improving stress resilience and metal tolerance in premium cotton germplasm.
