Un blé «nain», est [...] une plante dont tous les organes sont réduits : tige, feuille, épi, grain, racine. De tels blés [...] n'ont [...] joué aucun rôle dans l'évolution variétale. Le nanisme dont il sera question ici est partiel, limité, en ce sens qu'il ne porte que sur la longueur des entre-nœuds de la tige : d'où le terme «demi-nain» proposé par VOGEL en 1956 pour ce type de plante. 2, record 1, French, - demi%2Dnain

Quelques auteurs (EPHRAT, BORLAUG) ont maintenant tendance à revenir à l'appellation «nain»; les plantes dont tous les organes sont réduits sont alors dénommées «nains vrais». Nous utiliserons ici cette dernière terminologie (dans laquelle le qualificatif «nain» implique uniquement une réduction de la longueur de la tige). 2, record 1, French, - demi%2Dnain
