Abstract excerpt
Seed dormancy is an important trait in cereal breeding, as it prevents preharvest sprouting (PHS). Although seed dormancy is a multifactorial trait, seed color has been demonstrated to be a major dormancy-related factor controlled by few genes. The R-1 gene is a seed color regulator that encodes a MYB-type transcription factor in wheat. A set of genetic markers designed against R-1 can provide a powerful tool for...
