The promoter of the cereal VERNALIZATION1 gene is sufficient for transcriptional induction by prolonged cold. [PDF]
The VERNALIZATION1 (VRN1) gene of temperate cereals is transcriptionally activated by prolonged cold during winter (vernalization) to promote flowering.

MiR172-APETALA2-like genes integrate vernalization and plant age to control flowering time in wheat.
Plants possess regulatory mechanisms that allow them to flower under conditions that maximize reproductive success. Selection of natural variants affecting those mechanisms has been critical in agriculture to modulate the flowering response of crops to ...

Positional cloning of the wheat vernalization gene VRN1 [PDF]
Winter wheats require several weeks at low temperature to flower. This process, vernalization, is controlled mainly by the VRN1 gene. Using 6,190 gametes, we found VRN1 to be completely linked to MADS-box genes AP1

Molecular Characterization Of The Vernalization Locus VRN1 In Perennial Ryegrass [PDF]
Vernalization, the requirement of a period of low temperature to induce transition from vegetative to reproductive state, is an important trait in grasses. The objective of this study was to identify the causative polymorphism(s) for the variation in vernalization requirement at the VRN1 locus in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne).

Wheat FT protein regulates VRN1 transcription through interactions with FDL2 [PDF]
SummaryA precise regulation of flowering time is central to plant species survival. Therefore, mechanisms have evolved in plants to integrate various environmental cues to optimize flowering time. In this study, we show that the product of the wheat gene TaFT, which integrates photoperiod and vernalization signals promoting flowering, interacts with ...

Heading Date QTL in Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Coincide with Major Developmental Genes VERNALIZATION1 and PHOTOPERIOD1. [PDF]
In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), time from planting to spike emergence is influenced by genes controlling vernalization requirement and photoperiod response.

Evolution of VRN-1 homoeologous loci in allopolyploids of Triticum and their diploid precursors
Background The key gene in genetic system controlling the duration of the vegetative period in cereals is the VRN1 gene, whose product under the influence of low temperature (vernalization) promotes the transition of the apical meristem cells into a ...

Genome–wide association mapping for heading date in oats under subtropical environments
: Selection for heading date has been a decisive factor to increase areas cropped with oats in Brazil. Although important to oat breeders, genomic regions controlling heading date have not been completely identified.

Transcriptome analysis of the vernalization response in barley (Hordeum vulgare) seedlings. [PDF]
Temperate cereals, such as wheat (Triticum spp.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare), respond to prolonged cold by becoming more tolerant of freezing (cold acclimation) and by becoming competent to flower (vernalization).
