Morphological analysis and RNA-seq were conducted to profile the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at different time points after treatment with a mixture of ABA and TDZ (AT), a mixture of TDZ and diuron (TD), ABA (A), TDZ (T), or water (W). A total of 2805 DEGs were detected after treatment with A, 18 849 DEGs after treatment with T, 29 822 DEGs after treatment with AT, and 26 446 DEGs after treatment with TD. GO and KEGG analyses revealed the enrichment of functional categories, including plant hormone signal transduction and metabolic pathways, after AT treatment. Ethylene-related genes (ACO3 and ACS) and cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX) were upregulated. Cytokinin response regulatory factors (ARRs) were downregulated, and the cytokinin content was decreased. Gibberellin-related genes (GIDs) were downregulated, and jasmonic-acidrelated genes (JAZ10) were upregulated. The results showed that the interaction between ethylene and CTK regulated cotton leaf defoliation after AT treatment. Significantly, gibberellin and jasmonic acid also played a role in cotton leaf defoliation. The results of this study lay a foundation for further exploration of the function of ABA and TDZ in regulating cotton defoliation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
