Abstract
In hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) analysis of the F2 generation of the cross of Minister Dwarf and Chinese Spring showed that insensitivity to gibberellic acid, a characteristic of Minister Dwarf and other dwarf wheats, was determined by a single gene, Gai3. The short coleoptiles, which are also a feature of these dwarf wheats, was also identified as being predominantly controlled by a single gene which was probably identical to the gene Gai3.
