Abstract

This project aims to identify known and novel WOX4 transcripts using third-generation full-length transcriptome sequencing data from different plant species and treatment conditions. The requested resources will be used for long-read quality control, genome mapping, transcript isoform reconstruction and comparison of WOX4 transcript structures across samples. The main goal is to determine whether WOX4 produces condition-specific or species-specific transcript isoforms, including alternative transcription start sites, splicing variants and polyadenylation patterns. The results will guide downstream validation by qPCR and molecular experiments.
