Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Discovery of Rht27, a dwarf gene in wheat, showed potential in enhancing grain yield by reducing plant height. Plant height plays a crucial role in crop architecture and grain yield, and semi-dwarf Reduced Height (Rht) alleles contribute to lodging resistance and were important in "Green Revolution." However, the use of these alleles is associated with some negative side effects in some environments,...
