Semi-dwarf Wheats induced by Monosomy and Associated Changes in Gibberellin Levels

Nature volume 241, pages 211–212 (1973)Cite this article

Abstract

THE genetic basis of height control in the hexaploid wheats, Triticum aestivum (2n=6x=42), is complex as shown by the study of inter-varietal chromosome substitution lines1 and monosomic analyses2. Almost all twenty-one pairs of chromosomes have some effect on plant height in the tall and medium-tall varieties.
