Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: TaGα regulates wheat development in a dose-dependent manner: a single mutant of TaGα solely accelerates heading, while a double mutant not only accelerates heading but also shortens organ length. The Gα subunit plays a crucial role in plant organ development and heading time; however, the exact functions in wheat are unknown. In the present study, knockout mutations in functional TaGα-7A and TaGα-7D...
