Lysin-motif (LysM) receptor kinases (LYKs) play essential roles in recognition of chitin and activation of defense responses against pathogenic fungi in the model plants <i>Arabidopsis</i> and rice. The function of LYKs in non-model plants, however, remains elusive. In the present work, we found that the transcription of two LYK-encoding genes from cotton, <i>Gh-LYK1</i> and <i>Gh-LYK2</i>, was induced after <i>Verticillium dahliae</i> infection. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) of <i>Gh-LYK1 ...[more]
