Silencing GbVIP1 gene resulted in decreased Verticillium wilt resistance in cotton. a Expression levels of GbVIP1 in silenced and wild type cotton seedlings. b Phenotypes of cotton seedlings after V. dahliae inoculation. TRV:00 represents empty vector, TRV:GbVIP1 represents GbVIP1 silenced and TRV:PDS represents PDS silenced. c Disease index of silenced and wild type cotton seedlings measured at 25 and 35 days after infection
