Plant trichomes, protrusions formed from specialized aboveground epidermal cells, provide
protection against various biotic and abiotic stresses. Trichomes can be unicellular …

Background WOX (Wuschel-like homeobOX) genes form a family of plant-specific
HOMEODOMAIN transcription factors, the members of which play important developmental …

In order to understand the molecular genetic mechanisms of rice (O ryza sativa) organ
development, we studied the narrow leaf2 narrow leaf3 (nal2 nal3; hereafter nal2/3) double …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stress factors limiting rice production. Glabrousness is a
trait of agronomic importance in rice (Oryza sativa L.). We previously found a single-gene …

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

Trichome formation has been extensively studied as a mechanistic model for epidermal cell
differentiation and cell morphogenesis in plants. However, the genetic and molecular …

Trichomes function in plant defenses against biotic and abiotic stresses; examination of
glabrous lines, which lack trichomes, has revealed key aspects of trichome development …

The epidermal hair and stomata are two types of specialized structures on the surface of
plant leaves. On mature maize leaves, stomatal complexes and three types of hairs are …

Plant trichomes are a specialized cellular tissue that functions in resistance to biotic and
abiotic stresses. In rice, three transcription-factor genes: OsWOX3B, HL6, and OsSPL10 …

The plant-specific WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) nuclear proteins have important
roles in the transcriptional regulation of many developmental processes. Among the rice …
