Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS7B02G400600
• Gene Symbol: TaCol-B5
• Gene Name: CONSTANS-like protein
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Constitutive overexpression of the dominant TaCol-B5 allele but without the region encoding B-boxes in a common wheat cultivar increases the number of spikelet nodes per spike and produces more tillers and spikes, thereby enhancing grain yield in transgenic plants under field conditions.
• Allelic variation in TaCol-B5 results in amino acid substitutions leading to differential protein phosphorylation by the protein kinase TaK4.
• TaCol-B5 modifies spike architecture and enhances grain yield in wheat.
• Allelic variation in TaCol-B5 results in amino acid substitutions leading to differential protein phosphorylation by the protein kinase TaK4.
• TaCol-B5 was primarily expressed in the shoot apex and tiller bud, consistent with its potential role in promoting tillering and thus more spikes.
