Research Abstract	High density mapping of Vrn-D5 (renamed to Vrn-D4), one of the vernalization genes that determines the growth habit of wheat, was attemped in this study. As the result, Vrn-D4 was mapped on the 1.8cM region between the SSR markers Xcfd78 and Xbarc205 that were located on the centromeric region of chromosome 5D, and cosegregated with Xcfd67 and EST marker XBG313707. These markers were considered useful for marker assisted selection in the future breeding program.
