摘要: WOX蛋白家族是植物特有的一类转录因子家族, 是植物胚胎建成、干细胞维持和器官发生等发育过程中的重要调控因子。越来越多的研究表明, 作为干细胞维持的关键因子之一, WOX蛋白家族通过相似或特异的调控网络参与植物初生分生组织(茎尖和根尖分生组织)和次生分生组织(维管分生组织)等各级干细胞的维持和分化。该文综述了近年来WOX蛋白家族调控干细胞发育分子机制的研究进展, 并对其在单、双子叶植物中功能的保守性进行了比较和分析。

Abstract: The WUSCHEL RELATED-HOMEOBOX (WOX) protein family consists of plant-specific transcription factors and plays an important role in embryonic patterning, stem-cell maintenance and organogenesis. As one of key regulators in stem-cell maintenance, WOX genes regulate the development of shoot apical meristem, root apical meristem and vascular meristem in a similar and specific regulatory network. Here, we reviewed the progress in research of the molecular mechanism of WOX family in regulating stem cell development, especially by comparing their function in Arabidopsis and rice.
