A. Norin 10 (Rht genes)
B. Taichung Native 1 (TN 1)
C. Norin 10 and Taichung Native 1
D. ppd1
E. ppd2
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
The development of semidwarf varieties in major cereal crops like wheat and rice was a significant advancement in agriculture. This involved specific, naturally occurring or induced mutations that reduced plant height without compromising yield.
Norin 10 is a historically important wheat variety developed in Japan. It possesses reduced height characteristics due to mutations in the Rht (Reduced height) genes. This variety was crucial for breeding modern, high-yielding, semidwarf wheat cultivars worldwide.
Taichung Native 1 (often abbreviated as TN 1) is a landmark semidwarf rice variety. Developed in Taiwan, it introduced the desired short stature trait into rice breeding programs, particularly contributing to the Green Revolution in Asia. It resulted from a natural mutation.
The creation of semidwarf wheat relied heavily on the genetic contributions from Norin 10 (specifically its Rht genes), while the development of semidwarf rice was significantly advanced by Taichung Native 1. Therefore, the combination of these two specific varieties (C) is essential for understanding the development of semidwarf wheat and rice.
The correct option is C, encompassing both Norin 10 for wheat and Taichung Native 1 for rice.
