Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation TaCYP72A was cloned from wheat cultivar CM82036.
- Observation TaCYP72A was located on chromosome 3A, with homeologs on 3B and 3D.
- Observation TaCYP72A variants were activated early in wheat spikelets in response to F. graminearum and DON.
- Intervention effect Silencing TaCYP72A reduced wheat grain number by more than 59%.
- Recommendation The authors recommend further assessment of TaCYP72A as a contributor to wheat biotic stress resistance and grain development.
