Positional cloning of the wheat vernalization gene VRN1
TL;DR: The results suggest that AP1 is a better candidate for VRN1 than AGLG1, and the epistatic interactions between vernalization genesVRN1 and VRN2 suggested a model in whichVRN2 would repress directly or indirectly the expression of AP1.
The wheat and barley vernalization gene VRN3 is an orthologue of FT

TL;DR: It is shown that in these species, the vernalization gene VRN3 is linked completely to a gene similar to Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), which results in a transmissible signal that promotes flowering.

Comparative RFLP mapping of Triticum monococcum genes controlling vernalization requirement.
TL;DR: An orthologous vernalization gene, designated Vrn-Am1, was mapped in the diploid wheat Triticum monococcum between RFLP markers Xwg908 and Xabg702 on the long arm of chromosome 5AmL.
Genetic and Molecular Characterization of the VRN2 Loci in Tetraploid Wheat
TL;DR: Allelic variation at the VRN-B2 locus was associated with a partially dominant effect, which suggests that variation in the number of functional ZCCT genes can be used to expand allelic diversity for heading time in polyploid wheat and, hopefully, improve its adaptation to different environments.

Genetic and physical mapping of the earliness per se locus Eps-A (m) 1 in Triticum monococcum identifies EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) as a candidate gene.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that ELF3 is Eps-Am1, the wheat ortholog of circadian clock regulator EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3), is supported and additional tools to modulate reproductive development in wheat are identified.
