Molecular characteristics and regulatory effects of dwarfing Rht genes in Triticum aestivum L
This study systematically analyzed the regulatory relationships among Rht genes and their expression patterns under abiotic stress conditions, and evaluated the combined effects of alleles. Grey correlation analysis revealed that Rht1 and Rht5 were strongly correlated with plant height and yield-related traits. These provide theoretical support for allele combinations to breed the dwarf and high-yield wheat during molecular design breeding, such as Rht4 + Rht8 for reasonable plant type, Rht8 + Rht12 + Rht24 for favourable grain yield, thereby achieving breeding goals that balance height and stable yields.
