Model for Lyp1, Lyk7, and LysMe3 involvement in chitin perception and Verticillium dahliae defense. Lyp1, Lyk7, and LysMe3 were found to be membrane-anchored proteins and their expression was induced significantly by chitin signals. Lyp1, Lyk7, and LysMe3 not only activated downstream SA, JA, or ROS pathways, but also affected defense gene expression following V. dahliae infection. The exogenous application of SA, JA or ROS to cotton plants further promoted the upregulation of these defense genes. PM, plasma membrane
