In plants, other cells can express totipotency in addition to the zygote, thus resulting in
embryo differentiation; this appears evident in apomictic and epiphyllous plants. According …

Formation of somatic embryos in plants is known to require high concentrations of auxin or
2, 4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4‐D), which presumably acts to trigger a signalling …

The induction of plant somatic embryogenesis is often a limiting step for plant multiplication
and genetic manipulation in numerous crops. It depends on multiple signaling …

WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) gene is a plant-specific clade of homeobox
transcription factors. Increasing evidences reveal that WOXs play critical roles in early …

Somatic embryogenesis is widely used in plant biotechnology, but regulatory networks
underlying this process are not fully understood. This process is regulated by many protein …

Although full sequence data of several embryogenesis-related genes are available in
conifers, their functions are still poorly understood. In this study, we focused on the …

Key message This review summarizes recent knowledge on functions of WUS and WUS-
related homeobox (WOX) transcription factors in diverse signaling pathways governing …

Abstract WOX (WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX) is a family of homeodomain-containing
transcription factors in plants. WOX proteins maintain the activity of different types of …

During embryonic pattern formation, the main body axes are established and cells of
different developmental fates are specified from a single-cell zygote. Despite the …

In this study, we characterized the function of WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX 2 (WOX2)
using overexpression, CRES-T, and VP16 fusion techniques. Although the function of WOX2 …
