- Development of wheat cultivars with appropriate plant height (PH) is an important goal in breeding. Utilization of semi-dwarfing genes Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b triggered wheat Green Resolution in the 1960s. Since these genes also bring unfavorable features, such as reduced coleoptile length and grain weight, it is necessary to identify alternative reduced height genes without yield penalty. Here we constructed a high-density genetic map of a recombinant inbred line population derived from the cross of Zhongmai175 and Lunxuan987 and detected a stable genetic locus for PH, designated RHT26, on chromosome arm 3DL in all of six environments, accounting for 6.8–14.0% of the phenotypic variances. RHT26 was delimited to an approximate 1.4 Mb physical interval (517.1–518.5 Mb) using secondary mapping populations derived from 22 heterozygous recombinant plants and 24 kompetitive allele-specific PCR markers. Eleven high-confidence genes were annotated in the physical interval according to the Chinese Spring reference genome, and four of them were predicted as candidates for RHT26 based on genome and transcriptome sequencing analyses. We also confirmed that RHT26 had significant effects on PH, but not grain yield in a panel of wheat cultivars; its dwarfing allele has been frequently used in wheat breeding. These findings lay a sound foundation for map-based cloning of RHT26 and provide a breeding-applicable tool for marker-assisted selection.
