Expression of TaVRT-1 in several wheat cultivars and other cereals. Unvernalized (control) plants were grown for 12 d at 20°C, whereas vernalized plants were grown for 45 d at 4°C after 7 d at 20°C. RNA from two spring wheat (cvs Glenlea and Manitou), one spring barley (cv Winchester), four winter wheat (cvs Absolvent, Monopole, Fredrick, and Norstar), and a winter rye (cv Musketeer) were analyzed. The blot was hybridized with the specific TaVRT-1 probe. rRNA is shown as a load control.
