A Possible Association Between Heading Time and the GM‐A2 Locus in Bread Wheat

Abstract
A line without expression (null form) o: the α‐gliadins controlled by the 6A chromosome was found when screening electrosboretically single seeds of the bread wheat ‘Raeder’. Differences in heading time were also observed between this null line and the normal one. A linkage between 6A gliadin genes and heading time gene(s) is hypothesized.
