Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Dwarf gene of wheat
- Wheat Norin 10 is a semi-dwarf wheat cultivar with very large ears that were bred at an experimental station in Japan.
- Norin 10 grew to just two feet tall, instead of the usual four, which made it less prone to wind damage.
- Norin 10 provided two very important genes, Rht1 and Rht2, that resulted in reduced-height wheat, thus allowing better nutrient uptake.
- The Norin 10 dwarfing gene is also known in scientific literature as a reduced height (Rht) gene which may either be dominant or semidominant.
- Norin 10 helped developing countries, such as India and Pakistan, to increase the productivity of their crops from approximately 60% during the Green Revolution.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
