Population Transcriptome and Phenotype Reveal that Rht-D1b Contributes a Larger Seedling Root to Modern Bread Wheat

X. Wang, P. Zhao, X. Shi, X. Guo, Y. Liu, W. Hou, M. Cheng, X. Liu, X. Lai, J. Simmonds, W. Harwood, J. Wang, Z. Liu, L. Huang, D. Han, , S. Xu

The paper investigates the impact of GR alleles on wheat root systems, finding that Rht-D1b increases seedling root size by enhancing cell length and meristem size, while Rht-B1b has no significant effect on root traits.
