Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 Abstract The presence of the allele Rc-A1b on chromosome 7A specified the expression profile of the F3h-1 (encoding flavanone 3-hydroxylase) genes and anthocyanin pigmentation in coleoptiles of Russian bread wheat cultivar ‘Saratovskaya 29’. A quantitative RT-PCR analysis compared the temporal expression profile of F3h-A1, F3h-B1, and F
