Abstract excerpt
Plant height is a key determinant of wheat plant architecture that affect lodging resistance and grain yield. The GA-responsive (GAR) dwarfing gene Rht5 was previously shown to decrease plant height without compromise of wheat seedling vigor and considered as a promising candidate gene for breeding wheat varieties in water-limited conditions. However, the mechanisms underlying Rht5-mediated dwarfism are unclear....
