A new reduced height gene found in the tetraploid semi-dwarf wheat landrace Aiganfanmai

Z. S. Peng, Li, X., Yang, Z. J., and Liao, M. L., A new reduced height gene found in the tetraploid semi-dwarf wheat landrace Aiganfanmai, vol. 10, pp. 2349-2357, 2011.

Aiganfanmai is a dwarf tetraploid wheat landrace (Triticum turgidum var. turgidum) that stably produces the semi-dwarf trait. Plant height varies from 80-105 cm under cultivation. Compared with tall durum wheat (T. turgidum var. durum) variety Langdon, we found it to have short spikes and seeds, besides a semi-dwarf character. We crossed Aiganfanmai with Langdon to analyze the genetic basis of the semi-dwarf trait.
