Comment	Ht is the general symbol for genes influencing height. Note that this class includes both GA sensitive genes and GA insensitive genes. Genotypes of Indian semi-dwarf wheats based on the Ellis et al.(2002) markers are given in Nalini et al., (2005) and those for U.S. eastern and central and winter wheat cultivars are given in Guedira et al., (2010). Borner et al. (1996) found no evidence of orthologous GA-sensitive genes in rye, but reviewed evidence for orthologous GA-insensitive genes. The close linkage of Rht8 and Xgwm261-2D permitted the use of the microsatellite as a marker for the detection of allelic variants at the Rht8 locus ( Worland et al., 1998).
