Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaCKX6-D1
• Gene Name: cytokinin oxidase
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• TaCKX6-D1, the ortholog of rice OsCKX2, is associated with grain weight in hexaploid wheat.
• TaCKX6-D1, a wheat ortholog of rice OsCKX2, was cloned and its haplotype variants were determined to be significantly associated with the 1000-grain weight on the basis of linkage mapping, association analysis and gene expression analysis.
• Sequence variations among modern cultivars, landraces and wild species suggest a significant domestication signature at the TaCKX6-D1 locus in Chinese wheat germplasm.
• TaCKX6-D1 may serve as a useful gene for the breeding of high-yielding wheat.
• An upstream gene or cis factor may affect the function of TaCKX6-D1, and the diversity of the regulator gene or cis element and the 18-bp indel are in linkage disequilibrium, just like tb1 in maize.
