Abstract excerpt
Cytokinin is a plant hormone that regulates several yield-related traits in plants. Previously, it was demonstrated that in tetraploid oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.), mutation of all four cytokinin-degrading BnCKX3 and both BnCKX5 genes resulted in increased cytokinin concentration, larger and more active inflorescence meristems, and a higher number of ovules per gynoecium. This resulted in the formation of...
