Abstract

The effects of the Rht8c, Rht-B1b, Rht-B1e, and Rht-D1b genes on wheat height have been investigated. Variations in these effects are significantly modified by the genetic background and year conditions. A combination of the Rht8c, Rht-B1a, Rht-D1b, and Ppd-D1a alleles is the most advantageous for the conditions of southern Ukraine, since it is associated with optimal plant height under contrasting conditions within different years. The genotypes of some varieties were shown to include gene(s) that were unidentifiable by the molecular markers and significantly decreased plant height.
