Research Abstract	To dissect the wheat vernalization mechanism, molecular cloning of all vernalization genes and their functional analyses need to be conducted. In this study, we focused on the vernalization gene Vrn-D4. We constructed the high density genetic map around the Vrn-D4 locus, which narrowed down the Vrn-D4 region to the 0.09cM interval. By referring the genomic information on the Brachypodium corresponding region, we selected Vrn-D4 candidate genes. However, no significant variation was found.
