Time-series transcriptome and metabolome profiling reveals GhWRKY33 as positive regulator in cotton response to Verticillium dahliae infection
Verticillium wilt severely limits global cotton production, yet the molecular basis of early resistance in upland cotton remains poorly understood. Here, we integrated time-series transcriptomics and untargeted metabolomics to resolve early defense dynamics in cotton seedling roots of the VW-resistant cultivar Jinken...
