Identifying genotypes carrying the dwarfing genes Rht-B1 and Rht-D1 wo
uld be of great interest for wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) bre
eding. Two RFLP loci were found to be linked to those two genes, Xpsr
144-4B with Rhr-B1 on chromosome 4BS and Xglk578-4D with Rht-D1 on chr
omosome 4DS, by genotyping two F-2 populations, Renan (Rht-B1b) x Camp
-Remy and Rendez-Vous (Rht-D1b) x Roazon. Utilisation of these markers
in breeding schemes is discussed.
