    Solution

    The genes responsible for dwarfness in wheat are derived from the Norin 10 variety of wheat, originally developed in Japan. These genes, particularly Rht1 and Rht2 , are widely used in wheat breeding to produce semi-dwarf varieties that have higher yield potential and better lodging resistance.
