In this study, we examined two Daikoku dwarf (<i>d1</i>) mutants, T65(<i>d1-1</i>) and Kin(<i>d1-7</i>), which display contrasting internode elongation phenotypes. Anatomical observation revealed that T65(<i>d1-1</i>) exhibits a dm-type internode elongation pattern due to the lack of the second internode counted from the top, while Kin(<i>d1-7</i>) shows a dn-type pattern with a relatively elongated second internode.
