Comment
Maps to chromosome arm 5AL (Maistrenko, 1973; Law et al, 1976)
GenBank accessions AY616458 + AY616459 (Yan, et al., 2004)
Mapping: Vrn-A1 - 7.5 cM - Xwg644-5A (Korzun et al., 1997). Located mid 5A cosegregating with Xcdo504-5A, Xwg644-5A and Xpsr426-5A (Galiba et al., 1995). Vrn-A1 - 0.8 cM - Xbcd450-5A/Xrz395-5A - 4.2 cM - Xpsr426-5A (Kato et al., 1998).
Cultivars possessing Vrn-A1a are insensitive to vernalization. Vrn-A1a is epistatic to other genes. According to Roberts & Larson (1985), Vrn-A1a is not always fully dominant and not always epistatic. Kuspira et al. 1986, attributed single gene variation in T. monococcum to the Vrn-A1a locus. Multiple recessive alleles were suggested.
Multiple alleles also were reported in Kato et al., (1998), and the dominant allele of Novosibirskaya 67 and the weaker dominant allele of Pirotrix 28 were designated Vrn1a and Vrn1b, respectively.
