Correlation of Vernalization Loci VRN-H1 and VRN-H2 and Growth Habit in Barley Germplasm

Table 2

The predicted growth habit for each genotypic class is listed based on allelic combinations of two-locus VRN-H1/VRN-H2 flowering model. A simplified notation for allelic combinations in relation to growth habit is also provided.
