مستخلص: Abiotic and biotic stressors adversely affect plant survival, biomass generation, and crop yields. As the global availability of arable land declines and the impacts of global warming intensify, such stressors may have increasingly pronounced effects on agricultural productivity. Currently, researchers face the overarching challenge of comprehensively enhancing plant resilience to abiotic and biotic stressors. The secondary cell wall plays a crucial role in bolstering the stress resistance of plants. To increase plant resistance to stress through genetic manipulation of the secondary cell wall, we cloned a cell wall protein designated glycine-rich protein-like (GhGRPL) from cotton fibers, and found that it is specifically expressed during the period of secondary cell wall biosynthesis. Notably, this protein differs from its Arabidopsishomolog, AtGRP, since its glycine-rich domain is deficient in glycine residues. GhGRPL is involved in secondary cell wall deposition. Upregulation of GhGRPLenhances lignin accumulation and, consequently, the thickness of the secondary cell walls, thereby increasing the plant's resistance to abiotic stressors, such as drought and salinity, and biotic threats, including Verticillium dahliaeinfection. Conversely, interference with GhGRPLexpression in cotton reduces lignin accumulation and compromises that resistance. Taken together, our findings elucidate the role of GhGRPL in regulating secondary cell wall development through its influence on lignin deposition, which, in turn, reinforces cell wall robustness and impermeability. These findings highlight the promising near-future prospect of adopting GhGRPL as a viable, effective approach for enhancing plant resilience to abiotic and biotic stress factors.
