Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: PaWOX3
  • Gene Name: WUSCHEL homeobox protein WOX3
  • Genome:
  • Species: Picea abies

Functional Descriptions:

  • The WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX 3 gene PaWOX3 regulates lateral organ formation in Norway spruce.
  • PaWOX3 was highly expressed in mature embryos at the base of each cotyledon close to the junction between the cotyledons, and in the lateral margins of cotyledons and needles, separating them into an adaxial and an abaxial side.
  • Downregulation of the expression of PaWOX3 caused defects in lateral margin outgrowth in cotyledons and needles, and reduced root elongation.
  • Our data suggest that the PaWOX3 function in margin outgrowth in lateral organs is conserved among the seed plants, whereas its function in root elongation may be unique to gymnosperms.
