Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation TaD27 genes, orthologs of rice D27 encoding a strigolactone biosynthesis enzyme, were identified in wheat.
- Intervention effect TaD27-B-OE wheat plants had fewer tillers.
- Observation A Orobanche germination bioassay confirmed strigolactones were deficient in TaD27-RNAi wheat plants.
- Observation A Orobanche germination bioassay confirmed strigolactones were excessive in TaD27-B-OE wheat plants.
- Intervention effect Exogenous GR24 or TIS108 mediated axillary bud outgrowth of TaD27-RNAi and TaD27-B-OE plants in hydroponic culture.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that TaD27-B regulates wheat tiller number by participating in strigolactone biosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Plant height was not affected in the transgenic wheat plants, unlike rice D27.
- Observation Transcription and gene coexpression network analysis showed that a number of genes are involved in the strigolactone signalling pathway and axillary bud development.
