- Observation Juvenile apple plants had better drought tolerance than adults.
- Mechanism MdCKX5 negatively regulates drought tolerance in apple roots.
- Intervention effect MdCKX5 silencing accumulated cytokinin.
- Intervention effect MdCKX5 silencing enhanced drought tolerance.
- Intervention effect MdCKX5 silencing increased root vitality.
- Intervention effect MdCKX5 silencing prevented reactive oxygen species accumulation.
- Mechanism MdSPL1 directly binds MdCKX5 promoters and represses expression.
