This research aims to characterize the WOX gene family in Polygonatum cyrtonema and explore its role in regeneration.
Identified and classified eleven PcWOX genes using genome-wide characterization.
Conducted phylogenetic, syntenic, and structural analyses to understand gene evolution.
Performed heterologous assays in Nicotiana benthamiana to test the function of PcWUS and PcWOX5.
Identified 33 co-expression modules with six key modules linked to PcWOX abundance patterns.
Highlighted 49 candidate transcription factors involved in regulatory networks around PcWOX.
Demonstrated that PcWUS and PcWOX5 enhance regeneration competence but yield different developmental outcomes.
