Silencing of GhWAKs in cotton compromised plant resistance to V. dahliae. a, Albinotic CLA1-silenced seedling served as the indicator of successful VIGS. b, VIGS reduced the expression of GhWAKs by about 80%. c, Disease symptom for control at 15 dpi. d, Disease symptom for GhWAK26-silenced plants at 15 dpi. e, Disease symptom for GhWAK77-silenced plants at 15 dpi. f, Disease indices of GhWAK26- and GhWAK77-silenced plants at 15 dpi and 20 dpi. The results were evaluated by three replications, and each contained at least 30 plants. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences according to Sidak’s multiple comparisons test (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ns, no significant)
