    • Abstract:
      The root architecture, more seminal roots, and Deeper roots help the plants to uptake the resources from the deeper soil layer to ensure better growth. The Gibberellic acid-sensitive (GA-sensitive) Rht genes are well known for increasing drought tolerance in wheat. Much work has been performed on the effect of these genes on the plant agronomic traits and little work has been done on the effect of Rht genes on seminal roots and root architecture. This study was designed to evaluate 200 wheat genotypes under normal and osmotic stress. The genotypes were sown in the solution culture and laid under CRD factorial arrangement with three replications and two factors i.e., genotypes and treatments viz. normal and osmotic stress (20% PEG-6000) applied one week after germination. The data was recorded for the root traits. Results demonstrated that out of 200 genotypes, the GA-sensitive Rht13 gene was amplified in 21 genotypes with a fragment length of 1089 bp. In comparison, the GA-insensitive Rht1 gene was amplified in 24 genotypes with a band size of 228 bp. From 200 wheat genotypes, 122 genotypes produced 5 seminal roots, 4 genotypes 4 seminal roots, and 74 genotypes 3 seminal roots. The genotypes G-3 (EBW11TALL#1/WESTONIA-Rht5//QUAIU#1), G-6 (EBW01TALL#1/SILVERSTAR-Rht13B//ROLF07) and G-8 (EBW01TALL#1/SILVERSTAR-Rht13B//NAVJ07) produced 5 seminal roots and have longer coleoptile (> 4.0 cm), root (> 11.0 cm) and shoot (> 17 cm) under normal and osmotic stress. Furthermore, Ujala 16, Galaxy-13, and Fareed-06 produced 3 seminal roots and have short coleoptile (
