Abstract
Rice serves as the staple food in meeting the energy needs of more than half of the global population. Several high-yielding, semi-dwarf rice varieties, including the milestone variety IR8 that was developed by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) through the introduction of the semi-dwarf1 (sd1) allele of GA20-ox-2 gene and the beneficial allele of HIGH TILLERING AND DWARF 1/DWARF17 (Wang et al., 2020), doubled the yield over traditional germplasm and contributed to the Green Revolution in Asia.
