Abstract excerpt
The introduction of Reduced height (Rht) genes into wheat varieties has been pivotal in developing semi-dwarf plant architectures, significantly improving lodging resistance and harvest indices. Therefore, identifying new Rht gene resources for breeding semi-dwarf wheat cultivars has been a key strategy for ensuring high and stable grain yields since the 1960s. In this study, we report the map-based cloning of...
