Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS3D01G144300
• Gene Symbol: TaATX4-D
• Gene Name: N-methyltransferase ATX4-like
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Improvement of wheat drought tolerance through editing of TaATX4 by CRISPR/Cas9.
• TaATX4 knockout improves drought tolerance in wheat.
• TaATX4 performs a major role in negatively regulating wheat drought tolerance by orchestrating the transcriptional response to drought stress.
• Treatment with exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) or 20% PEG induced the transcriptional expression of TaATX4 homoeologs, which gradually increased with prolonged treatment time
• The simultaneous triple knockout (KO) of all three TaATX4 homoeologs in wheat to observe the effects on drought tolerance.
