The discovered structure of the collection was as follows: 50.0% and 41.7% of the collection carries Vp-1B§Ñ and Vp-1Bc alleles, respectively, while 8,3% possesses both of them. As a result of the seed color estimation, the collection has been divided into two groups: with dark red seeds and light red seeds. The allele Vp-1Bc has appeared to be associated with PHS resistance while Vp-1Ba with PHS susceptibility in the triticale accessions with light red seeds only. The influence of the seed color and allelic state of Vp-1B on PHS resistance in triticale is discussed. %K Preharvest Sprouting (PHS) %K Hexaploid Triticale %K VIVIPAROUS-1B %K Seed Color %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=17765
