Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: We identified a new wheat dwarfing allele Rht12b conferring reduced height and higher grain yield, pinpointed its causal variations, developed a breeding-applicable marker, and traced its origin and worldwide distribution. Plant height control is essential to optimize lodging resistance and yield gain in crops. RHT12 is a reduced height (Rht) locus that is identified in a mutationally induced...
