The 160 bp insertion in the promoter of Rht-B1i plays a vital role in increasing wheat height

The 160 bp insertion in the promoter of Rht-B1i plays a vital role in increasing wheat height

The extensive use of two alleles (Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b) at the Rht-1 locus in wheat allowed dramatic increases in yields, triggering the so-called Green Revolution. Here, we found that a new natural allelic variation (Rht-B1i) containing a single missense SNP (A614G) in the coding region significantl...
