Enhancement of grain number per spike by RNA interference of cytokinin oxidase 2 gene in bread wheat

Abstract Background This study aimed to validate the function of CKX gene on grain numbers in wheat. Methods we constructed and transformed a RNA interference expression vector of TaCKX2.4 in bread wheat line NB1. Southern blotting analysis was used to select transgenic plants with single copy. The...
