	Norin 10 wheat
		Wheat Norin 10 is a semi-dwarf variety of wheat, with very large ears, which grew in the experimental station of Norin, Japan.
		Norin 10 provided two very important genes, Rht1 and Rht2, that resulted in reduced-height wheats, thus allowing better nutrient uptake and tillerage (when heavily fertilised with nitrogen, tall varieties grow too high, become top-heavy, and lodge).
		Norin 10 helped developing countries, such as India and Pakistan to increase the productivity of their crops from approximately 60% during the green revolution.

		Wheat (Triticum spp) is a grass that is cultivated around the world.Globally, it is the second-largest cereal crop, tied with maize; the third being rice.
		Wheat cultivars are classified by growing season (winter wheat vs. spring wheat) and by gluten content (hardwheat (high gluten content) vs. soft wheat (high starch content)).
		Wheat is widely cultivated as a cash crop because it produces a good yield perunit area, grows well in a temperate climate even with amoderately short growing season, and yields a versatile, high-qualityflour that is widely used in baking.

		Wheat is subject to more diseases than other grains, and, in some seasons, especially in wet ones, heavier losses are sustained from those diseases than are felt in the culture of any other culmiferous crop with which we are acquainted.

		Wheat is also planted strictly as a forage crop for livestock and as straw, too.
		Wheat is subject to more diseases than other grains, and, in some seasons, especially in wet ones, heavier losses are sustained from those diseases than are felt in the culture of other cereal crops.
		Wheat may suffer from the attack of insects at the root; from blight, which primarily affects the leaf or straw, and ultimately deprives the grain of sufficient nourishment; from mildew on the ear; and from gum of different shades, which lodges on the chaff or cups in which the grain is deposited.

		An international leader in researching wheat improvement in the 20th century was award-winning agronomist Orville A. Vogel, a native of Pilger, Nebraska.
		After he observed in the 1940s that varieties slightly infected with a type of smut called bunt were less vulnerable to attack by different types of the smut fungus, he developed by 1949 the Brevor variety by selecting partially smutted plants, giving it both specific and non-specific forms of resistance.
		The O.A. Vogel Endowed Chair in Wheat Breeding and Genetics, funded by the Washington Wheat Commission and the Washington State Legislature, was initiated in 1991 at Washington State University.

		The design of hybrid strains (so called because theywere created by cross-breeding a broad range of varieties to producethe desired combination of characteristics in a single variety, although random mutagenesis was alsoused) was motivated by a desire to, first, increase crop yield, and also to increase durability for transport and longevity forstorage.

		The need to avoid complete genetic uniformity over a long period is obvious from the examples of agricultural pathogens I've already mentioned - corn leaf blight, wheat rust, potato blight.
		A cultivar of wheat, ``Norin 10,'' from Japan was of shorter stature than typical varieties of wheat being grown because of two genes, Rht1 and Rht2, that caused dwarfing.
		Norman Borlaug speculated that by breeding these genes into Mexican wheat lodging would be reduced and the plants would respond to fertilizer application.
