Abstract excerpt
The application of Green Revolution alleles Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b in wheat semi-dwarf breeding has remarkably improved lodging resistance and increased global wheat production. However, these gibberellin (GA)-insensitive genes require higher water and fertilizer inputs and impair seedling emergence and early vigor, prompting the search for alternative GA-sensitive dwarfing genes to breed environmentally friendly...
