Characterization of JsWOX1 and JsWOX4 during Callus and Root Induction in the Shrub Species Jasminum sambac.

ABSTRACT: Plant regeneration in vitro and the underlying molecular regulatory network are of great interest to developmental biology, and have potential applications in agriculture and biotechnology. Cell growth and re-differentiation during de novo organogenesis require the activation and reprogramming of stem cells within the stem cell niche of the tissues. The WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) factors play important roles in the maintenance and regulation of plant stem cells and are involved in many developmental processes. However, in woody species such as the Jasminum sambac, little is known about the involvement of WOX genes in de novo organogenesis. Here we show that two WOXs, JsWOX4 and JsWOX1, are implicated in callus proliferation and ro
