Disease management could be achieved in the field if genetically improved, resistant plants were used. However, the interaction between V. dahliae and cotton is a complicated process, and its molecular mechanism remains obscure. To understand better the defense response to this pathogen as a means for obtaining more tolerant cultivars, we monitored the transcriptome profiles of roots from resistant plants of G. barbadense cv. Pima90-53 that were challenged with V. dahliae. SN - 1471-2164 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-14-637 DO - 10.1186/1471-2164-14-637 ID - Zhang2013 ER -
