Analysis of the Structural Organization and Expression of the Gene Controlling Growth Habit (Spring vs. Winter) in Coss.

The duration of the vegetative period is an important agronomic characteristic of cereal crops. It is mainly influenced by the (response to vernalization) and (response to photoperiod) genes. In this work, we searched for alleles of several known genes of these two systems of response to external conditions in 15 accessions of Coss.
