1 Utilization of Dwarfing Genes to Improve Drought Tolerance and Yield Potential in Wheat Hu Yin-Gang State Key Lab of Crop Stress Biology for Arid Areas, Northwest A&F University, September 12,

2 Lodging, the most serious risk for wheat production

3 Application of dwarfing genes in wheat Rht-B1b, RhtD1b and Rht8, the most widely used dwarfing genes in wheat.

4 Distribution of dwarfing genes Rht-B1b, Rht-D1b and Rht8 in cultivars of different zones Huang-huai winter wheat zone Northwestern Southwestern Spring wheat winter wheat zone zone Dwarfing gene Northern winter wheat zone Rht-B1b Rht-D1b Rht Rht-B1b+Rht Rht-D1b+Rht No dwarfing gene detected Total Dwarfing genes Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b are mostly utilized in regions, where rainfall was relatively plenty for wheat production or with irrigation; while Rht8 gene has extensive distribution in various ecological regions, where most of the regions are rainfed areas or with limited irrigation.

11 Utilization of GAGA-sensitive dwarfing genes Wheat cultivars with Rht-B1b and RhtD1b (GA insensitive) mainly used in the areas with better water conditions, while those with Rht8 or Tall mainly used in the rainfed conditions. Why? GA responsive dwarfing genes may be better for improving water use efficiency and wheat yield potential?

12 Utilization of GAGA-sensitive Rht genes To evaluate the effects of different GA-responsive dwarfing genes on drought tolerance and yield potential of wheat, the populations and lines with dwarfing genes, Rht12 and Rht13 (GA sensitive) were constructed?

13 Effects of the dwarfing gene Rht12 on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) F2 population from Ningchun45 Karcagi12. Ningchun45: Vrn-B1; rht12. a Chinese cultivar with spring growth habit. Karcagi12: vrn-b1; Rht12. The genotype of each F2 plant was detected by molecular markers. And only the homology ones (RRBB; RRbb; rrbb; rrbb) were developed into F2:F3 population.
