The designation bv1 (Brevis plant 1) refers to a mutant gene that causes a specific dwarf phenotype in plants. This mutation is characterized by shortened internodes, which leads to a significant reduction in total plant height.
The bv1 gene encodes a protein involved in auxin signaling processes. In breeding work, the study of this gene and the brachytism it causes is used to create agronomically efficient hybrids with increased lodging resistance.
