Accession GR:0020051
Gene Symbol ckx2
Gene Name Cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase 2 
Synonyms (4)
E.C. Numbers (1) 1.5.99.12
Pathway Reactions (6)
Chromosome No. 1
Gene Type CDS (Protein coding)
Has Phenotype no
Description Cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase 2 degrades the bioactive phytohormone cytokinin.
Curator Comment ckx2 is preferentially expressed in inflorescence meristems, flowers, leaves and culms. The expression of ckx2 is higher in Koshihikara than it is in other cultivars such as Habataki, NIL-Gn1a and 5150; this higher level of expression is correlated with a 21% increase in grain number. ckx2 is known to play a role in regulating cytokinin levels in the vascular system of developing culms.
