Question

The 'Dee-gee-woo-gene' is known to play a critical role in the development of dwarf rice varieties. How does this gene contribute to altering plant height, and what impact does this have on rice production?

A It increases gibberellin production, resulting in shorter stalks and higher lodging resistance.
B It suppresses gibberellin synthesis, creating shorter, sturdier plants that are less prone to lodging.
C It enhances root elongation, improving nutrient uptake and growth.
D It boosts photosynthetic efficiency, leading to denser crop canopies.
E It inhibits tillering, leading to more uniform plant growth.
