Disease resistance and yield performance of GbAt11-overexpressing cotton lines and statistical results. a Boll opening phenotype of transgenic line L-214 and WT in a V. dahliae nursery at the boll opening stage (Shandong, 2013.09). b Morbidity of Verticillium wilt at the flowering and boll-forming stages. The disease index come from the results of August 20. The indexes of L-214 and other lines were significantly lower than those of WT, YCK, and SCK, but similar to RCK. c Bolls per plant at the late flowering and boll-forming stages; several lines, including L-214, were better than JM169 and YCK
