- Intervention effect Carpel-specific suppression of GhCKX3b increased cytokinin content in T2 positive cotton lines by 50.3% to 102.0% relative to wild-type.
- Intervention effect Transgenic cotton lines consistently showed increased lint percentage, boll weight and seeds per boll relative to wild-type.
- Association In the best-performing transgenic line, lint percentage rose from 36.4% to 45.8%.
- Association In the best-performing transgenic line, boll weight rose from 6.30 g to 7.31 g.
- Observation Multi-year field evaluations confirmed stable inheritance of the yield improvements across generations.
- Observation Major fiber quality parameters remained within high-quality cotton standards in the transgenic lines.
