The MYB (v-myb avian myeloblastosis viral oncogene homolog) transcription factor family is involved in resistance to pathogen infection, and knockout of GhMYB108 makes cotton more susceptible to Verticillium wilt, whereas GhMYB108 overexpression improves resistance to Verticillium wilt in Arabidopsis [44]. This evidence concerns the gene MYB and infection.
