Introgression of the short arm of rye chromosome one into common wheat increases root biomass and drought tolerance, but the underlying genetic basis is unknown. Here, the authors report that dosage differences in 12-OXOPHYTODIENOATE REDUCTASE genes modulate the differences of wheat root architecture.
