Key Points

The study aims to examine how CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of SiYABBY1 affects cleistogamy and seed traits.
Used CRISPR/Cas9 to mutate SiYABBY1 in foxtail millet.
Assessed changes in cleistogamy, seed number, and seed size.
Conducted analyses on growth and development patterns.
Cleistogamy is enhanced by SiYABBY1 mutagenesis.
Seed number and size significantly increase with the mutation.
Overexpression of SiYABBY1 inhibits normal growth.

Abstract

• CRISPR/Cas9-mediated SiYABBY1 ( Seita . 2G037900 ) mutagenesis enhances cleistogamy and increases seed number and size in foxtail millet. • Overexpression of SiYABBY1 ( Seita . 2G037900 ) can significantly inhibit the normal growth and development of foxtail millet. • Studying the molecular mechanism of SiYABBY1 will contribute to achieving the breeding goal of high yield.
