Abstract excerpt
The reduction in plant height caused by mutations in Rht-B1 or Rht-D1 (Reduced height-1) genes in combination with day-length-independent early flowering associated with the Ppd-D1 (Photoperiod-D1) gene were the main factors of the drastic yield increase in bread wheat in the 1960s. Increasing nitrogen use efficiency as well as maintaining high yields under conditions of global climate change are the modern goals...
