Abstract excerpt
In barley, three genes are responsible for the vernalization requirement: VrnH1, VrnH2 and VrnH3. The winter growth habit of barley requires the presence of a recessive VrnH1 allele, together with an active VrnH2 allele. The candidate for VrnH3 (HvFT1) has been recently identified, with evidences pointing at a central role in the integration of the vernalization and photoperiod pathways. Functional polymorphisms...
