Photoperiod sensitivity of Ppd-H1 and ppd-H1 isogenic lines of a spring barley cultivar: exploring extreme photoperiods.

Abstract excerpt

Barley is a long-day plant with a major gene (PPD-H1) that determines its photoperiod sensitivity. Under long days (i.e. 16 h), flowering occurs earlier in sensitive (Ppd-H1) than in insensitive (ppd-H1) genotypes, while under short days (i.e. 12 h) both flower late and more or less simultaneously. We hypothesized that (i) the sensitive line should flower later than the insensitive line under very short days (<12...
