Abstract
Duration of vegetation period connected with environmental adaptability is a complicated physiological trait. Three key gene groups contribute to it: Vrn genes controlling growth habit (spring vs. winter) and vernalization response of late spring wheat cultivars, Ppd genes controlling photoperiod response and Eps genes controlling 'earliness per se '. The influence of Vrn genes is very significant. The phenotypic manifestation of dominant Vrn genes and their qualitative and quantitative components, and the problem in formalization of traits 'growth habit (spring vs. winter)' and 'response to vernalization' are discussed
