Comment
A study of winter wheats 2174 and Jagger showed that 2174 has a tandem repeat of Vrn-B2 whereas Jagger has a deletion of this gene. Identical apparently functional sequences of Vrn-B2 were found in contig sequences of Chinese Spring obtained from chromosomes 4BS, 2BS and 5DL (Tan and Yan, 2016).
