“…The most important loci, which control PHS tolerance, are located on three homologous chromosomes, 3A, 3B, and 3D (JAISLWAL et al, 2012), but 4A chromosome was also mentioned for containing the Phs gene (KUWAL et al, 2012). However, viviparous-1 gene family is associated with PHS tolerance in several cereals species (XIA et al, 2008;CHANG et al, 2011). On wheat the R genes, which are responsible for grain color, are also the biggest contributors to PHS tolerance (FOLEY;FENNIMORE, 1998;FLINTHAM et al, 2002).…”
