“…However, only a few salt stress-inducible genes have been documented in cotton, such as GhNHX1 [25], GhDREB [26], GhERF2-GhERF6 [27][28][29], GhNAC1-GhNAC13 [30,31], GhMT3a [32], GhMPK2 [33], GhMKK5 [34], GhZFP1 [35], GhCIPK6 [36], GhWRKY17 [37], GhWRKY39-1 [38], and GbRLK [39]. With the success of the cotton whole-genome sequencing [40,41], and the widespread use of microarrays and next-generation sequencing, some salt-related regulatory factors and genes have been identified in cotton at genome-wide level [6,[42][43][44]. For example, some members of transcription factor families such as WRKY, NAC, MYB, and C2H2 have been reported to play an important role in salt tolerance of cotton [6,[42][43][44].…”
