Abstract:The WUSCHEL (WUS)-related homeobox (WOX) gene family coordinates transcription during
the early phases of embryogenesis. In this study, a putative WOX2
homolog was isolated and characterized from Aegilops tauschii, the
donor of D genome of Triticum aestivum. The sequence consisted of
2045 bp, and contained an open reading frame (ORF), encoded 322 amino acids. The
predicted protein sequence contained a highly conserved homeodomain and the WUS-box
domain, which is present in some members of the WOX protein famil… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
