Abstract
Plant height is one of the most critical factors influencing wheat plant architecture, and the application of Green Revolution genes has led to a reduction in plant height and an increase in yield. Discovering new dwarfing genes and alleles can contribute to enhance the genetic diversity of wheat. Here we obtained an EMS induced dwarf wheat mutant je0166 with increased grain weight, which exhibited a reduction in plant height ranging from 46.47% to 49.40%, and its cell length was shorter. The mutant je0166 was sensitive to exogenous gibberellin, but its sensitivity was lower than that of its wild type. Genetic analysis on plant height and gene mapping located the target region to a 4.07 cM interval on chr. 4AL. Within this interval, we identified a co-segregated mutation in Rht-A1h, which is a novel allele of the Green Revolution gene Rht-A1. We also found large fragment inversions in the genetic map of the mutant. The novel allele diversifies natural allelic variations and could be utilized in future wheat improvement. Furthermore, we demonstrated that chemical mutagen treatment led to large fragment inversion.

期刊介绍:
Molecular Breeding is an international journal publishing papers on applications of plant molecular biology, i.e., research most likely leading to practical applications. The practical applications might relate to the Developing as well as the industrialised World and have demonstrable benefits for the seed industry, farmers, processing industry, the environment and the consumer.
All papers published should contribute to the understanding and progress of modern plant breeding, encompassing the scientific disciplines of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, physiology, pathology, plant breeding, and ecology among others.
Molecular Breeding welcomes the following categories of papers: full papers, short communications, papers describing novel methods and review papers. All submission will be subject to peer review ensuring the highest possible scientific quality standards.
Molecular Breeding core areas:
Molecular Breeding will consider manuscripts describing contemporary methods of molecular genetics and genomic analysis, structural and functional genomics in crops, proteomics and metabolic profiling, abiotic stress and field evaluation of transgenic crops containing particular traits. Manuscripts on marker assisted breeding are also of major interest, in particular novel approaches and new results of marker assisted breeding, QTL cloning, integration of conventional and marker assisted breeding, and QTL studies in crop plants.
