Abstract: Early stage expression of PR10 combined with phytoalexins contributed to Verticillium wilt resistance in cotton. In order to analysis the activities of PR10 proteins during pathogens’ infection, we cloned a Verticillium-induced PR10 (GbPR10-1) gene from cotton (Gossypium barbadense) and compared its expression patterns and domains with other PR10 proteins. Bioinformatics indicated that GbPR10-1 showed the lowest similarity with other 12 different PR10 genes in cotton (Upland and sea-island cotton). Expression profiles showed that GbPR10-1 gene instantly up-regulated after infection by V. dahliae in the sea-island cotton plants. GbPR10-1 was also induced by environmental stimulus including heat, submergence and salt, and ethylene but not by ABA and salicylic acid. The GbPR10-1 protein expressed in E. coli BL21 demonstrated that it had a low ribonuclease-like activity in vitro, and could inhibit V. dahliae hyphae growth but not its spores. Comparison analysis of GbPR10-1 (from resistant species) and GhPR10-1 (from susceptible species) responding to V. dahliae infection, only GbPR10-1 gene was strongly induced in the sea-island cotton plants (incompatible response), indicating that PR10-1 genes was linked to resistance signal. In summary, the earlier activation of GbPR10-1 gene, as the index of resistance response, would be aid to block the
