Characterization of WOX genes revealed drought tolerance, callus induction, and tissue regeneration in Gossypium hirsutum

Cotton is an important natural fiber crop; its seeds are the main oil source. Abiotic stresses cause a significant decline in its production. The WUSCHEL-related Homeobox (WOX) genes have been involved in plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, the functions of WOX genes are less k...
