The Rht13 dwarfing gene reduces peduncle length and plant height to increase grain number and yield (2011, background): “Their deployment and distribution has been highly successful [70% of the commercial wheat varieties grown globally containeitherRht-B1borRht-D1b (Evans, 1998)] andpivotal inyield increases arising out of the green revolution (Hedden, 2003).”
Genome-wide comparative diversity uncovers multiple targets of selection for improvement in hexaploid wheat landraces and cultivars (2013, background): “Development of semidwarf photoperiod-insensitive wheat varieties in the 1940s formed the basis of the “Green Revolution” (9).”
QTL mapping for developmental behavior of plant height in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (2010, background): “we know, the spectacular increases in wheat and rice yields during the ‘Green Revolution’ were achieved by the introduction of dwarfing traits into the plants ( Peter 2003 ).”
A QTL Cluster for Plant Architecture and Its Ecological Significance in Asian Wild Rice (2007, background): “It is generally recognized that the introduction of the semi-dwarf gene (sd1) on chromosome 1 was crucial to the ‘Green Revolution’ (Hedden 2003).”
Domestication evolution, genetics and genomics in wheat (2011, background): “Plant height is an extremely important target trait in modern wheat breeding since the ‘‘green revolution’’ in cereals was achieved by reducing plant height, and thus the lodging susceptibility and increase in grain yield (Hedden 2003).”
Gibberellin signaling in plants (2013, background): “For example, the introduction of wheat mutant dwarfing alleles at Reduced height-1 (Rht-B1 and Rht-D1) loci led to large increases in worldwide grain yields during the 1960s, owing to improvements in both harvest index and lodging resistance (Hedden, 2003).”
Wild emmer wheat, 'Triticum dicoccoides', occupies a pivotal position in wheat domestication process (2011, background): “Plant height is an extremely important target trait in modern wheat breeding since the “green revolution” in cereals was achieved by reducing plant height, thus the lodging susceptibility and increase in grain yield (Hedden, 2003).”
Biomass allocation to leaves, stems and roots: meta-analyses of interspecific variation and environmental control. (2012, background): “Indeed, part of the success of the Green Revolution was based on gibberellic acid insensitivity, with decreased allocation to stems and increased investments to seed as a consequence (Hedden, 2003).”
SNP-Seek database of SNPs derived from 3000 rice genomes (2014, background): “Its incorporation into IR8 and other varieties by rice breeding programs spurred the First Green Revolution in rice production in the late 1960s (15).”
Through the genetic bottleneck: O. rufipogon as a source of trait-enhancing alleles for O. sativa (2007, background): “cereals were associated with the higher yields of the Green Revolution (Hedden 2003; Khush 2001). Cloning of the Rht gene in wheat was reported by Peng et al. (1999). When sd1 was aligned with Rht, there was no sequence similarity, demonstrating that breeders had not selected for mutations at the sa”
