Gene Details:

• Gene ID: BnaC06G0141100ZS
• Gene Symbol: BnaC6.WRKY10b
• Gene Name:
• Genome: BnIR (http://yanglab.hzau.edu.cn/BnIR) and Brassicaceae Database (http://brassicadb.cn| Wang et al., 2015| Yang et al., 2023)
• Species: Brassica napus

Functional Descriptions:

• The transcription factor BnaWRKY10 regulates cytokinin dehydrogenase BnaCKX2 to control cytokinin distribution and seed size in Brassica napus.
• Overexpression of BnaC6.WRKY10b rather than BnaC6.WRKY10a resulted in lower concentration of CKs and larger seeds by activating BnaA9.CKX2 expression, indicating that the functional differentiation of BnaWRKY10 homologs might have occurred during B. napus evolution or domestication.
• The TFs BnaWRKY10s were co-expressed with BnaCKX2s| BnaWRKY10s positively regulated seed size by promoting the expression of BnaCKX2s.
• Overall, the study reveals the distribution of CKs in B. napus tissues, and shows that BnaWRKY10-mediated BnaCKX2 expression is essential for seed size regulation, providing promising targets for oil crop improvement.
