Abstract
Using allele-specific primers, a combination of the Vrn-A1, Vrn-B1, Vrn-D1, Ppd-D1, and Ppd-B1 alleles was analyzed in 48 early-ripening and middle–early varieties of the spring soft wheat from different breeding centers of Siberia. Six haplotypes were detected, including two most widespread with two dominant genes (Vrn-A1 and Vrn-B1) on the background of recessivePpd-D1b gene (causing sensitivity to the photoperiod). The dominant Ppd-D1a allele was found in combination with dominant Vrn-A1 and Vrn-B1 genes only in one variety (Tulun 15), which is the earliest among all the analyzed varieties. A significant variability in the duration of vegetation was detected within each haplotype assuming a strong influence of the genetic background on the given trait. The results obtained can be used in marker-assisted selection of the most optimal genotypes for specific cultivation conditions.
