Genetic analysis of the Group IV Rht LOCI in wheat.
The introduction of the group IV semi-dwarf Rht alleles, Rht-B1b (formerly Rht1) and Rht-D1b (formerly Rht2) into bread wheat varieties from the donor line „Norin 10‟ that began in the 1960s was a major contributor to the „green revolution‟. Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b were characterised and cloned over a …

Effect of Allelic Variation in Rht Loci on Plant Height and Grain Yield of Soft Red Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
… L.) is controlled in large part by two major Rht genes, Rht-B1 and Rht-D1, which pleiotropically impact lodging and grain yield. Prior to the Green Revolution, wheat varieties contained only ‘wild-type’ Rht alleles (Rht-B1a and Rht-D1a) and were tall and prone to lodging. Introgression of a …

Investigations into the molecular interactions between Claviceps purpurea, the causal agent of ergot, and cereal hosts
… to co-locate with the wheat Reduced height (Rht) dwarfing gene alleles Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b. The wheat Rht loci encode DELLA proteins, Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b representing GA-insensitive mutations in DELLA. A linkage between Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b and ergot resistance could therefore indicate a role …
