Isolation of the dwarfing Rht-B1p (Rht17) gene from wheat and the development of an allele-specific PCR marker
2015-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Plant height is one of the most important traits of wheat because it influences lodging resistance, harvest index and yield. Reduced height of wheat is achieved mainly by the introduction of Rht-B1b (Rht1), Rht-B1e (Rht11) or Rht-D1b (Rht2) dwarfing genes, which produce mutant DELLA proteins that constitutively restrain plant growth irrespective of gibberellin hormone level. The exploration of new variations of th...
