Claim · model-written summary
Earlier work showed that mutating all four BnCKX3 and both BnCKX5 genes raised cytokinin concentration, enlarged and activated inflorescence meristems and increased ovules per gynoecium.

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Mechanism The analysis revealed an unexpectedly strong role for BnCKX5 in regulating the yield-component traits.
- Observation Distinct supportive BnCKX3 gene mutant combinations were identified.
- Intervention effect Seeds from BnCKX gene mutant plants had oil content and unsaturated fatty acid concentrations similar to the wild type.
- Recommendation The findings facilitate selection of relevant alleles for breeding.
