摘要： Verticillium wilt caused by soil-borne fungus of Verticillium dahliae Kleb. is one of the most devastating diseases of cotton. Since the hierarchically organized mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade plays pivotal roles in signaling plant defense against pathogen attack, and the key nodes of MAPKKs (MKKs) may serve as for the convergence and divergence of signals in MAPK cascades, the possible relations between MAPK signaling and cotton Verticillium resistance were examined in this study. A total of 24 MKK genes were identified in the Gossypium hirsutum L. genome and then classified based on phylogenetic analysis. Then the regulation roles of all types of cotton MKKs in activation of cotton disease resistance were tested with the virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) method. The results showed that three types of MKKs (GhMKK4, GhMKK6 and GhMKK9) positively regulate, while GhMKK10 negatively regulate the cotton resistance to Verticillium wilt. Further, more subtle regulation of cotton resistance mediated by MKK genes were revealed. In GhMKK9, only Gh_Al2G2448 and Gh_D12G2574 displayed positive regulation of cotton resistance; whereas only Gh_Al2G1883 and Gh_D12G2062 displayed negative regulation of cotton resistance in GhMKK10. All these results show that MKK members in MAPK signal cascades play dual roles in subtly regulating of cotton resistance to Verticillium wilt.
