Abstract

WOX (WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX) is a family of homeodomain-containing transcription factors in plants. WOX proteins maintain the activity of different types of meristems and regulate the formation of plant organs, controlling cell proliferation and differentiation. Study of the WOX family is important for the development of plant transformation and genome editing techniques. Here we review the functions of the WOX transcription factors as well as their targets, partners, and regulators. The WOX family can be divided into three phylogenetically distinct clades: so-called ancient, intermediate, and WUS clade; each clade is covered in a separate section. The WOX genes of Arabidopsis thaliana are described most comprehensively, with their orthologs in other plant species also considered. Summary tables with the described targets, regulators and partners of WOX family members are provided.

WOX说什么？审查监管者，目标，合作伙伴

摘要

WOX（与WUSCHEL相关的HOMEOBOX）是植物中一个含有同源异域的转录因子家族。WOX蛋白质维持不同类型的分生组织的活性，并调节植物器官的形成，控制细胞的增殖和分化。WOX家族的研究对于植物转化和基因组编辑技术的发展很重要。在这里，我们回顾了WOX转录因子的功能及其靶标，伴侣和调节剂。WOX家族可以分为三个系统发育上不同的进化枝：所谓的古代，中级和WUS进化枝；每个进化枝都覆盖在单独的部分中。拟南芥的WOX基因最全面地描述了它们，并考​​虑了它们在其他植物物种中的直系同源物。提供了具有所描述的目标，管理者和WOX家庭成员合作伙伴的摘要表。
