CitRWP directly activates CsWUS transcription in citrus, and CitRWP–SYD chromatin remodeling synergistically enhances CsWUS expression to govern somatic embryogenesis and regeneration outcomes.
- Why it matters: Woody fruit trees have poorly defined molecular control of regeneration, limiting crop improvement; the downstream network of CitRWP and its chromatin context were unclear.
- What they did: The study showed CitRWP binding to the CsWUS promoter, CitRWP interaction with the SWI/SNF ATPase SYD, and increased chromatin accessibility at the CsWUS locus upon CitRWP overexpression.
- The result: CsWUS overexpression promotes somatic embryogenesis in recalcitrant citrus callus but leads to abnormal meristem proliferation and impaired shoot organogenesis from epicotyl segments, while also greatly enhancing in planta transformation efficiency.
