Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Multiple origins of Indian dwarf wheat were due to two mutations targeting the same TREE domain of a GSK3-like kinase, and these mutations confer to enhanced drought tolerance and increased phosphate and nitrogen accumulation for adaptation to the dry climate of Indian and Pakistan. Indian dwarf wheat, featured by the short stature, erect leaves, dense spikes, and small, spherical grains, was a...
