A dwarfing gene (allele) sd1-d has been intensively utilized to develop short-culm indica varieties in southeast Asia up to now. Before the first sd1-d-carrying variety IR8 was released, rice researchers had recognized the general tendency that culm length is higher in indica varieties than in temperate-japonica ones. Inter-subspecific difference of the tall (wild-type) allele SD1 at the sd1 locus was examined on...
