Abstract
IN the course of genetic and physiological studies of developmental processes leading to flowering in spring wheats a major gene conditioning a positive response to vernalization was detected in the variety ‘Insignia 49’ (ref. 1). Further investigations have now led to the recognition of a second gene governing the photoperiodic response of the Canadian variety ‘Selkirk’.
