DnaJ Proteins Regulate <i>WUS</i> Expression in Shoot Apical Meristem of Arabidopsis
WUSCHEL (WUS) protein regulates stem cell function in shoot apical meristem of <i>Arabidopsis</i>. The expression of <i>WUS</i> gene is strictly regulated by developmental cues and environmental factors. As DnaJ domain-containing proteins, SDJ1 and SDJ3 have been proven to pl...
