Abstract excerpt
Induced mutation is an important approach for creating novel plant germplasms. The introduction of dwarf or semi-dwarf genes into wheat has led to great advancements in yield improvement. In this study, four elite dwarf wheat mutants, named dm1-dm4, induced from γ-ray irradiation or ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis, were used to identify transcriptome variations and dwarfing mechanisms. The results showed...
