Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: GhMKK3
  • Gene Name: Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase 3
  • Genome: TM1_NBI
  • Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

  • The Cotton Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase 3 (GhMKK3) Functions in Drought Tolerance by Regulating Stomatal Responses and Root Growth.
  • Overexpressing GhMKK3 in Nicotiana benthamiana enhanced tolerance to drought, and the results of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assays suggest that GhMKK3 plays an important role in responses to abiotic stresses by regulating stomatal responses and root hair growth.
  • Further evidence demonstrated that overexpressing GhMKK3 promoted root growth and ABA-induced stomatal closure.
  • More importantly, we identified an ABA- and drought-induced MAPK cascade that is composed of GhMKK3, GhMPK7 and GhPIP1 that compensates for deficiency in the MAPK cascade pathway in cotton under drought stress conditions.
