Gene Details:

• Gene ID: HORVU.MOREX.r3.3HG0236930
• Gene Symbol: HvCKX1
• Gene Name: cytokinin dehydrogenase1
• Genome: MorexV3_pseudomolecules_assembly
• Species: Hordeum vulgare

Functional Descriptions:

• Silencing of the HvCKX1 gene decreases the cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase level in barley and leads to higher plant productivity.
• Knockout of the HvCKX1 or HvCKX3 Gene in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) by RNA-Guided Cas9 Nuclease Affects the Regulation of Cytokinin Metabolism and Root Morphology.
• CKX genes encode the cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase enzyme, which catalyzes the irreversible degradation of cytokinin. Several recent studies have demonstrated that the RNAi-based silencing of CKX genes leads to increased grain yields in some crop species.
• The observed changes suggest that the knockout of a single CKX gene in barley may be not sufficient for disrupting cytokinin homeostasis or increasing grain yields.
