Abstract excerpt
Dwarfism is a useful trait in many crop plants because it contributes to improved lodging resistance and harvest index. The mutant allele dw3-ref (dwarf3-reference) of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is characterized by an 882 bp tandem duplication in the fifth exon of the gene that is unstable and reverts to wild-type at a frequency greater than 0.001 in many genetic backgrounds. The goal of this research...
