KNOTTED1-LIKE HOMEOBOX (KNOX) genes are a relatively conserved gene family in plants, and have important regulatory functions in the morphological development of plants. In this study, a total of 9 KNOX proteins were found from citrus and divided into two classes, Class I and Class II. Subsequently,...
