Researchers in Japan have identified how the WOX13 gene negatively controls the destiny of regenerating plant cells, affecting the efficiency of shoot regeneration. Plants possess the unique ability to completely regenerate from a somatic cell, i.e., an ordinary cell that does not typically partici
Researchers have identified a key negative regulator of shoot regeneration, WOX13, which promotes non-meristematic cell fate by acting as a transcriptional repressor and thereby impacts regeneration efficiency. This discovery provides new insights into cell-fate specification pathways and suggests that knocking out WOX13 can enhance shoot regeneration efficiency, which could be a valuable tool in agriculture and horticulture.
On a cellular scale, the formation of SAM is meticulously controlled by either positive or negative regulators that may induce or restrict shoot regeneration, respectively. But which molecules are involved? Are there other regulatory layers that are yet to be uncovered?ArabidopsisScience Advances
