Transcriptional dynamics and functions of WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) genes from Ginkgo biloba in tissue culture
This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of the WOX gene family in Ginkgo biloba and highlights its significant role in tissue culture regeneration. The findings suggest that specific GbWOXs are critical for embryo development and callus regeneration, which provides the foundation for the establishment of effective tissue culture systems in Ginkgo. Moreover, this research contributes valuable insights that could be beneficial for improving propagation techniques and genetic studies in other forest trees, especially within the gymnosperm group.
