Molecular mapping of major genes influencing flowering time in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell)

Abstract: For genetic mapping of major photoperiod (Ppd-B1) and vernalisation (Vrn-D1) genes in wheat, four segregating populations were employed. For this purpose, AFLP and SSR were chosen as molecular techniques. The use of different populations carrying the same gene enabled to answer the crucial question in marker assisted selection (MAS) whether the markers found in a specific cross can be also applied in different crosses. Furthermore, a simple method for scoring the presence of Ppd-B1 gene was also developed by converting a co-segregating AFLP to a simple PCR marker.
