Covariation for Microsatellite Marker Alleles Associated with Rht8 and Coleoptile Length in Winter Wheat
2004-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars with greater coleoptile elongation are preferred in low-precipitation dryland regions and in early-planted management systems of the Great Plains, but the presence of GA3 (gibberellin)-insensitive dwarfing genes tends to restrict coleoptile elongation. The agronomic value of Rht8 and the discovery of its diagnostic microsatellite marker, Xgwm 261, have accelerated breeders' i...
