| 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.
