Identification of L-type LecRK Genes and Functional Characterization of GhLecRK-VIa and GhLecRK-VId in Salt Resistance in Upland Cotton

Key Points

• Salt resistance is significantly boosted by the GhLecRK-VIa and GhLecRK-VId genes in upland cotton.
• The study identifies several L-type LecRK genes, particularly focusing on GhLecRK-VIa and GhLecRK-VId.
• Functional analysis, including gene expression and stress testing, was performed on upland cotton to evaluate salt resistance.
• These findings promote crop resilience strategies against salinity in agricultural practices.
