Evolutionary Insight and Expression Pattern of WUSCHEL-Related Homebox Genes of Dendrobium huoshanense.

ABSTRACT: The WOX (WUSCHEL-related homebox) gene family is critical for plant growth, development, and the regulation of stress responses; however, the function of Dendrobium huoshanense WOX has not been extensively studied. Nine WOX genes have been identified in the D. huoshanense genome. These WOX genes were unequally distributed on five chromosomes, with four WOX genes occupying chr1. A phylogenetic tree of D. huoshanense and five other species was built based on the maximum likelihood method, suggesting that these WOX proteins could be grouped into three classical clades. Structural variation analysis of the three Dendrobium relatives revealed that D. huoshanense had more translocations and inversions with D. nobile tha
