Extended Data Fig. 3: Wheat accessions harboring the r-e-z deletion show longer spikes and higher thousand grain weight than the ‘Green Revolution’ wheat varieties carrying Rht-B1b or Rht-D1b.

a, The whole plants and grains of selected wheat germplasm lines harboring the r-e-z haploblock deletion. Scale bars are 10 cm for whole plants and 1 cm for grains. b, Comparison of plant height, spike length and TGW between wheat germplasms harboring the r-e-z haploblock deletion (n = 11 accessions) and randomly selected semidwarf varieties harboring either Rht-B1b (n = 22 accessions) or Rht-D1b (n = 35 accessions) semidominant alleles. For list of accessions, see Source Data. The bars in the violin plots represent 25th percentiles, medians and 75th percentiles. P-values were calculated by a two-tailed Student’s t-test (** P < 0.01; * P < 0.05; ns, no significant difference).
