The gene responsible for dwarfing in wheat is called Norin-10. Norin-10 is a dwarfing gene that was discovered in a Japanese wheat variety called Norin-10. This gene played a crucial role in the Green Revolution as it enabled wheat plants to have shorter, sturdier stems, reducing lodging and increasing yields. The Norin-10 gene is associated with reduced responsiveness to gibberellin, a plant hormone that promotes stem elongation. By introducing Norin-10 into wheat varieties, breeders were able to develop high-yielding, semi-dwarf wheat cultivars that revolutionised wheat production.Hence, the correct answer is option 2
