摘要： Maize (Zea mays L.) is a globally vital crop for food, feed, and biofuel production, with plant height (PH) being a key agronomic trait that significantly influences yield, lodging resistance, and stress tolerance. This study identified a single-base mutation in the D1 (Dwarf 1) gene responsible for the dwarf phenotype in the maize mutant 16N125. Through genetic analysis and fine mapping, the candidate region was localized to chromosome 3, narrowing it down to an interval containing three genes. Sequencing revealed a non-synonymous mutation in D1, which encodes a gibberellin 3-beta-dioxygenase, leading to amino acid substitutions at positions 61 and 123. Genetic analysis of F2 populations confirmed that the mutation at position 61 was responsible for the dwarf trait. Furthermore, the mutation was detected in several Chinese inbred lines, indicating its potential role in dwarfing under specific conditions. These findings provide critical insights into the genetic mechanisms regulating maize plant height, offering valuable information for breeding programs focused on improving crop architecture and yield to address the challenges of global food security and climate change.
