The study aims to identify the roles of WOX transcription factors in the shoot regeneration of Platycodon grandiflorus and specifically highlights PlgWOX2.
Identified nine WOX genes in the Platycodon grandiflorus genome.
Conducted phylogenetic analysis and expression profiling during hormone-induced redifferentiation.
Used transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana to analyze the functional impact of PlgWOX2 overexpression.
PlgWOX2 overexpression reduced the shoot regeneration time from 15.2 days in wild-type explants to 13.6 days in transgenic lines.
The expression of CLAVATA3a, a shoot meristem marker, was elevated in PlgWOX2-overexpressing lines during early regeneration phases.
