Transgenerational Paternal Inheritance of TaCKX GFMs Expression Patterns Indicate a Way to Select Wheat Lines with Better Parameters for Yield-Related Traits.

ABSTRACT: Members of the TaCKX gene family (GFMs) encode the cytokinin oxygenase/dehydrogenase enzyme (CKX), which irreversibly degrades cytokinins in the organs of wheat plants; therefore, these genes perform a key role in the regulation of yield-related traits. The purpose of the investigation was to determine how expression patterns of these genes, together with the transcription factor-encoding gene TaNAC2-5A, and yield-related traits are inherited to apply this knowledge to speed up breeding processes. The traits were tested in 7 days after pollination (DAP) spikes and seedling roots of maternal and paternal parents and their F₂ progeny. The expression levels of most of them and the yield were inherited in F₂ from the paternal parent. Some pairs or groups of
