Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the PPO Gene Family in Cotton (<i>Gossypium</i>) and Their Expression Variations Responding to <i>Verticillium</i> Wilt Infection
Polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) are copper-binding metalloproteinases encoded by nuclear genes, ubiquitously existing in the plastids of microorganisms, plants, and animals. As one of the important defense enzymes, PPOs have been reported to participate in the resistant processes that respond to diseases...
