A. Borner et al., COMPARATIVE MOLECULAR MAPPING OF GA INSENSITIVE RHT LOCI ON CHROMOSOMES 4B AND 4D OF COMMON WHEAT (TRITICUM-AESTIVUM L.), Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 95(7), 1997, pp. 1133-1137
The two GA-insensitive dwarfing gene loci Rht-B1 and Rht-D1 were mappe
d using three F-2 populations, segregating for Rht-B1c (Rht3), Rht-D1b
(Rht2) or Rht-D1c (Rht10). Rht-B1c was mapped on chromosome 4BS in th
e centromere region, distal and closely linked to the RFLP markers Xps
r144 (11.9 cM) and Xpsr584 (17.8 cM), but proximal to Xmwg634 (30 cM).
Rht-D1c, however, was found to be closely linked to the distally loca
ted markers Xpsr921 (0.8 cM) and Xmwg634 (1.5 cM). The homoeologous re
lationships between the GA-insensitive dwarfing genes within the Triti
ceae are discussed.
