Multiple reduced height (Rht) genes in wheat had been identified but only a few were applied in breeding programs. Therefore, identifying and utilizing new Rht genes remains a prerequisite for breeding high-yield and stable wheat varieties. In this study, we constructed an F2 mapping population by crossing an elite dwarf wheat germplasm 11003 with Yangmai 20, a leading variety in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Genetic analysis indicated that the lower plant height of 11003 was controlled by a pair of recessive major alleles. The Rht gene, designated as QPh.aaas-4D, was mapped to a physical interval of 16.64-25.97 Mb on chromosome 4D by using bulked-segregant analysis sequencing (BSA-Seq). Subsequently, high-density KASP makers were developed and mapped the QPh.aaas-4D to a 2.67 Mb candidate interval (18.95-21.62 Mb). Then we used the functional marker KP-Rht2 to test individuals of the F2 population and assumed the candidate gene underlying QPh.aaas-4D was the classical Rht gene, Rht2. Based on this study, reduced height of the novel wheat germplasm 11003 is likely related to the Rht2 gene located on chromosome 4D, which can be used in wheat breeding.
