Abstract excerpt
sd1 is known as the 'green revolution' gene in rice because its application in rice breeding has dramatically increased rice yield. Since the 'green revolution,' sd1 has been extensively used to produce modern semi-dwarf varieties. The extensive use of limited dwarfing sources may, however, cause a bottleneck effect in the genetic background of rice varieties. To circumvent this problem, novel and useful sources...
