Abstract excerpt
Vrn-A1 (VERNALIZATION A1) and Fr-A2 (FROST RESISTANCE A2) have been associated with variation in winter survival of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The beneficial alleles of Vrn-A1 and Fr-A2 are largely fixed in Canadian winter wheat germplasm, rendering the associated molecular markers ineffective for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in elite populations. The objectives were to (i) identify quantitative trait loci...
