摘　　要：Dear Editor,Wheat(Triticum aestivum)is a major staple crop in the world and provides~20%of the food calories for human consumption(Appels et al.,2018).During the 1960s and 1970s,the introduction of two semi-dwarfing genes Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b in wheat varieties strikingly improved lodging resistance and harvest index,and therefore substantially increased grain yield,resulting in the well-known"Green Revolution"(Peng et al.,1999).However,plants carrying Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b suffer from several drawbacks.
